Frequently Asked Questions
It's a convenient solution, but lacks the advanced routing and editing features of a dedicated IR loader – think of it as a streamlined option for essential cabinet tones.
Yes, it can definitely be used with a clean amp; the channel independence allows for stacking the preamp's gain on top of a clean signal for a more controlled distortion.
Primarily for IR loading, but it’s likely Engl could add firmware updates in the future via USB-C, though that functionality isn’t explicitly stated.
