Frequently Asked Questions
VPF is more of a pre-shape—it emphasizes certain frequencies for a more aggressive, modern bass sound, rather than offering precise EQ control.
While you can connect an external speaker, it needs to be at least 8 Ohms to avoid damage; adding a subwoofer won't yield significant low-end improvement given the amp's power.
The headphone output is fine for general practice, but high-end headphones might reveal a slight reduction in dynamic range compared to a dedicated monitor system.
