Frequently Asked Questions

The 200 version offers significantly more power and a more refined EQ section, while retaining the core Microtubes distortion character. It’s a more versatile and stage-ready upgrade.
You can absolutely get subtle overdrive; the 'Blend' knob is key to mixing the clean signal in and taming the extreme settings. It’s a remarkably dynamic range.
The DI is excellent, but naturally, it won't perfectly replicate the sound of a miked cabinet. It’s very usable for recording, though, and a great starting point for further processing.
