Frequently Asked Questions

It's more subtle and nuanced; it’s not a simple mix of dry and wet signals but a carefully tailored parallel processing scheme.
While designed for guitar, it can work well on bass, especially for punchy slap or funk tones, but be mindful of the potentially aggressive nature of the FET compression.
The finer resolution of the meter allows for much more precise gain staging and control over the compression's intensity, letting you dial in subtle or aggressive effects.
