Frequently Asked Questions
Germanium offers a smoother, more compressed tone, while silicon is grittier and more aggressive – allowing for a wider range of overdrive sounds.
While primarily designed for guitar, it can work well with bass, especially for adding mid-range definition and a touch of overdrive, but may require EQ adjustments.
Technically, it's a preamp, so it *can* drive headphones with a suitable adapter, but it's best used as a boost or overdrive in front of an amplifier for optimal results.
