Frequently Asked Questions

It’s closer to the original EMT 140 than many others, prioritizing authenticity over versatility, which some may prefer.
Like most true bypass designs, there's a *tiny* bit of signal loss, but it's virtually undetectable and doesn't significantly alter your dry signal.
Yes, it will, but the Talisman is designed to benefit from the wider voltage range (9-18V) for potentially more headroom and dynamic response. A higher voltage isn't essential, though.
