Frequently Asked Questions

It's a relatively aggressive, characterful distortion; think more grit than subtle warmth, adding a distinct metallic edge to your sounds.
The step sequencer is straightforward, but mastering the multiple sequences and their interplay takes practice; it's a good learning tool but has a bit of a learning curve.
The 3.5mm patch jacks make it easily patchable into a Eurorack system, acting as a unique voice or modulation source – though voltage control is limited to the parameters exposed on the front panel.
