Frequently Asked Questions
The clean channel is quite good, but it leans towards a slightly darker character; a 3-way bright switch helps to retain clarity with single coils.
Friedman’s FX loops are renowned for their transparency; it’s designed to be as neutral as possible, preserving your effects’ original character.
The Small Box offers a more refined, less compressed high-gain tone compared to the DSL50; it’s tighter and more articulate, while the DSL50 is looser and more aggressive.
