Frequently Asked Questions
One mode offers a full, powerful tone, while the other emphasizes the higher harmonics for a more cutting, articulate response.
While it *can* be wired, it’s designed for active use and won't perform optimally with a passive preamp – you'll lose much of its intended character.
The X-Series utilizes a slightly modified circuit and magnet composition for increased output and a more aggressive, modern tone profile.
