Frequently Asked Questions
The High-Gain stage provides a noticeable boost in saturation but still retains the core TS character; it's more of a 'medium-gain' than a full distortion.
It's more of a mid-focused tone control, shaping the overall character rather than offering a wide frequency sweep. Expect a subtle but effective adjustment of the mid-range frequencies.
JAM pedals has clearly addressed this common issue; the TubeDreamer maintains a clean and controlled signal, even at higher gain settings, avoiding excessive fizz.
