Frequently Asked Questions
It's more of an integrated fuzz tone with an octave boost – less precise than a dedicated octaver, but more cohesive with the fuzz character.
No, the scooped voicing is designed for aggressive fuzz; it's not suitable for anything resembling clean or lightly overdriven sounds.
While technically possible, the octave effect might be overwhelming for bass. It’s better suited for guitar, where the octave boost sits higher in the frequency range.
