Frequently Asked Questions

The Growl knob subtly alters the harmonic content of the octave signal, adding a bit of grit and warmth to prevent it from sounding sterile or artificial.
The octave signal has a slight character, influenced by the Growl setting; it's not a completely transparent octave, but that's often desirable for bass tones.
While primarily designed for bass, it *can* be used with guitar, but the lower frequencies will be more pronounced, resulting in a very low, sometimes muddy tone – experiment with caution!
