Frequently Asked Questions

The Cirro Stax is significantly more focused on crackling and shimmer, whereas the Complex Stack has a fuller, more washy tone with a longer sustain.
It's intentionally left untreated to allow for more natural overtones and resonance, creating a more complex and organic sound compared to a lacquered bottom.
While it has a short sustain, the unique crackling and phaser-like qualities can still cut through a mix, but it's not designed for extremely loud, powerful playing.
