Frequently Asked Questions

It's more nuanced than a simple bass boost; it adds low-end presence and harmonic richness, but can quickly become overwhelming if not adjusted carefully.
Absolutely, the lower Gain settings combined with a clean amp channel can create a very usable overdrive, though it’s primarily designed as a distortion pedal.
