Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the raw finish will naturally develop a patina over time, requiring occasional cleaning to maintain its appearance and prevent buildup.
Due to its aggressive nature and high volume, it's best suited for tracks where a powerful, impactful stack sound is desired rather than subtle textures.
