Frequently Asked Questions
The 'Taste' control subtly alters the harmonic content, adding a touch of warmth or grit—think a mild saturation effect, similar to a preamp's drive control, but more refined.
The transformer-balanced DI is excellent for studio use; it provides a very clean and low-noise signal, easily handling professional recording interfaces.
While Class-D is known for efficiency, Eich's design prioritizes a natural, balanced tone; it won't perfectly replicate tube warmth, but it avoids the sterile sound some Class-D amps can have.
