Frequently Asked Questions
The parametric mid control allows much finer adjustments than fixed mid frequencies, giving you more precise tonal shaping.
While it's primarily designed for guitar, it *can* work with bass, but be mindful of potential muddiness and adjust the EQ accordingly; it’s not an ideal bass-specific solution.
The 20dB setting provides a substantial clean boost, while the 33dB is for more aggressive drive and pushing your amp into saturation.
