Frequently Asked Questions
It’s a big deal – switching between 6L6, EL34, and EL84 simulates different tube characteristics, altering the gain structure and overall feel from tight and modern to warm and vintage.
While it has a speaker emulated output, it’s primarily designed for direct recording or use with a FRFR (Full Range Flat Response) speaker system for the best results.
You can completely customize the effects chain, adjust individual effect parameters, and even create and save your own custom presets – it’s a surprisingly deep level of editing.
