Frequently Asked Questions

The 'Tilt' isn't a simple mid-sweep; it shifts the entire frequency spectrum around the center frequency, creating a more dramatic and interactive tonal change.
Absolutely, the precise control over frequency and Q allows for targeted low-end cleanup, though the single-band nature means you'll need to be deliberate in your adjustments.
While not strictly required, an expression pedal unlocks the full dynamic capabilities of the center frequency control, offering a very expressive and interactive performance experience.
