Frequently Asked Questions
It’s more of a warm, mid-focused overdrive than a scooped, aggressive distortion. Think classic amp saturation rather than a digital harshness.
Yes, but you may need to adjust your volume to compensate for the signal loss, as it’s designed to work well with active and passive pickups.
It’s primarily a wet/dry mix, allowing you to preserve your clean signal while adding the overdrive effect. However, subtle tonal changes can occur depending on your EQ settings.
