Frequently Asked Questions
Smile Pass creates a unique frequency response dip in the middle, often sounding like a resonant vowel; it's excellent for creating vocal-like textures or unusual rhythmic effects.
Absolutely, the stereo input allows you to process external audio, and the mono-to-stereo functionality is useful for widening simpler signals.
At nearly 200mA, ensure your power supply has sufficient headroom; using multiple QPAS modules simultaneously can quickly max out smaller supplies.
