Frequently Asked Questions

Single notes retain clarity best; chords can become muddy, especially with higher latch settings.
It's generally quiet, but high-gain setups might experience a slight hum when bypassed.
It works, but bass frequencies can quickly overload the effect, resulting in a blurry, less defined sound – best suited for bass drones.
