Frequently Asked Questions
The Electret switch adjusts the input sensitivity for electret microphones, allowing you to optimize the preamp’s gain staging for a cleaner signal with less noise.
The SPKR Sim provides a decent approximation of a bass speaker cabinet, useful for direct recording or smaller stage setups, but it’s not a replacement for the dynamic response of a real speaker.
While designed for acoustic instruments, it can be used with electric basses, but you’ll need to experiment with the EQ to find a pleasing tone, as it’s optimized for the frequency characteristics of acoustic instruments.
