Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can, but be mindful of the input level - hotter signals might clip. It’s more suited for line-level signals for optimal results.
Some programming experience is helpful for deep customization, but the included effects and performance programs are completely usable without any coding knowledge.
The OLED display is reasonably bright, but direct sunlight or very bright ambient light can make it slightly harder to read.
