Frequently Asked Questions
The 'Voice' switch subtly alters the frequency response and clipping characteristics, offering a darker, more compressed tone versus a brighter, more open sound – it’s not just a simple tone knob.
It works great with both! The bias controls allow you to tame the output of high-gain humbuckers, while the fuzz character adds warmth and sustain to single coils.
They're surprisingly intuitive; small adjustments drastically change the fuzz’s character, allowing for everything from a vintage fuzz to a modern, scooped tone – a lot more nuanced than a typical fuzz.
