Frequently Asked Questions

It's more straightforward than some, focusing on essential frequency shaping—bass, mid-frequency, and treble—making it easy to dial in a wide range of tones.
The C profile is generally considered comfortable, but the 45mm nut width might feel a little snug for those with very large hands.
Passive mode offers a more traditional, slightly darker tone; it retains the bass’s core character but with less aggressive output and a more vintage feel.
