Frequently Asked Questions

While effective, the noise gate is more of a utility feature; it won't replace a high-end dedicated gate, but it handles typical hum and noise well.
Absolutely, the Source Audio ecosystem is designed for seamless preset sharing via MIDI or the Source Audio app – a huge benefit for those invested in their gear.
The relay bypass offers the cleanest signal path, but you might notice a slight click/pop depending on your rig's grounding; buffered bypass adds a bit of coloration but eliminates that potential noise.
