Frequently Asked Questions
The tight switch reduces low-end muddiness, offering a more focused and articulate overdrive tone, particularly useful with higher gain settings.
While it can get fairly driven, it's primarily designed for British overdrive tones. It won't deliver the high-gain, aggressive distortion of a dedicated metal distortion pedal.
The splitter cable is solely for allowing the pedal to operate with a higher voltage (18V), which increases headroom and potentially enhances dynamic response; it doesn't alter the core tone.
