Frequently Asked Questions

The OC44 utilizes a different transistor which results in a more rounded, less aggressive boost, retaining more of the original low-end and offering a smoother, less brittle high-end.
While it shines with an overdriven amp, the OC44 can add subtle sparkle and presence to a clean tone, but it’s most impactful when pushing an already saturated amplifier.
Expect around 6-8 hours of continuous use from a standard 9V battery; usage patterns will, of course, influence the actual battery life.
