Frequently Asked Questions
The tuner output sends a clean signal directly to your tuner, bypassing the pedal's effects; reliability depends on your overall signal chain's noise floor.
The taper is a classic, moderate curve – not as gradual as some vintage units, but not overly aggressive either; it's a usable, predictable response.
While it's primarily a volume pedal, it *can* be used as an expression pedal, but it requires a compatible device and may not offer the full range of control of a dedicated expression pedal.
