Frequently Asked Questions
The MKII boasts significantly improved battery life, easily providing 6-8 hours of playtime at moderate volume, a notable upgrade.
The EQ is fairly basic – Low, Mid, High – so it's best for subtle adjustments; more drastic tone shaping will require external processing.
While it *can* be used for electric instruments, the small speaker and limited low-end response make it less than ideal; it's primarily designed for acoustic instruments.
