Frequently Asked Questions
It's a commendable recreation, capturing the core mid-hump and smooth gain characteristics, but lacks the nuanced subtleties of the original's aging components.
You can absolutely use it with one amp; the 3-way switch allows for effect-only routing, effectively using each effect separately.
The speed range leans towards more noticeable tremolo, though you can achieve subtle variations by carefully adjusting the bias and depth controls. It’s not a slow, shimmering vibrato pedal.
