Frequently Asked Questions
While high voltage, it’s contained within the unit and powered by the included 12V DC supply, minimizing risk when used as directed.
Foxgear has focused on recreating the key characteristics of a vintage British amp's EQ curve, but it’s an emulation, not a perfect clone; it captures the essence of that sound.
It's a preamp – it needs to be connected to a power amp to produce an audible signal; it won't function as a standalone amplifier.
