Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Beetronics has modeled two well-known overdrive circuits, although they haven't explicitly named them, allowing for their own unique interpretation.
Parallel routing thickens the signal considerably, adding sustain and low-end without drastically increasing the overall gain level, making it great for stacking.
It's a broader, more general tone shaping control – it's not a precise EQ; it’s designed to add a mid-range bump or cut to quickly alter the character of the overdrive.
