Frequently Asked Questions

The Hold is more for layering leads over a delayed phrase; it doesn't offer full looping functionality with recording and playback.
You can assign an expression pedal to control either the Time or Blend, but not multiple parameters at once – it’s a single assignment.
The modulation is controllable; you can dial it back for very subtle shimmer or crank it for more pronounced, psychedelic warbling.
