Frequently Asked Questions

The CabClone IR is surprisingly good, capturing a decent amount of speaker character, but it won't fully replicate the feel and nuances of a real cab—it's great for DI recording though.
The Crush circuit isn't just distortion; it's a unique gain reduction that adds a different harmonic complexity, often resulting in a tighter, more focused high-gain sound.
The Variac setting lowers the voltage, resulting in a darker, more compressed tone with reduced headroom and a softer feel, ideal for bluesy or vintage-inspired sounds.
