Frequently Asked Questions
MVC maintains output volume when switching between clean and distorted channels, preventing drastic volume spikes – it's a gain-compensated volume control.
The Zuul gate is fixed; it’s designed to be a straightforward solution for taming high gain, but lacks individual threshold or decay controls.
The Fortin leans towards a more aggressive, mid-focused distortion, while the Alpha-Omega is often smoother and more bass-heavy; the Meshuggah is a more specialized tool for a particular sound.
