Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, the linear taper offers a more predictable, consistent volume change, which is favored by many for swells and precise control, unlike the more dramatic change of an audio taper.
The pan function is more of a simple left/right signal split; it's not a true stereo panning effect that would offer nuanced positioning.
This pedal doesn't require power, so it’s compatible with any standard pedalboard power supply – it’s entirely passive.
