Frequently Asked Questions
Higher sensitivity means the swell happens more readily with even slight picking changes, creating a more dramatic effect. Lower sensitivity requires more picking force to trigger the swell.
It works fine with humbuckers, though you might need to adjust the Sensitivity knob as humbuckers generally produce a stronger signal.
It’s surprisingly organic-sounding, but at higher swell intensity settings, a slight digital artifact can creep in, so subtle adjustments are key.
