Frequently Asked Questions

The Shift switch alters the upper harmonics, generally tightening the low-end and adding more focused aggression – think more modern high-gain than a vintage VHT sound.
No, the Ultra-Lead is designed exclusively for the Synergy System; it's a preamp module and requires the Synergy power amp section to function.
The graphic EQ offers a more granular level of control, allowing you to adjust specific frequency bands independently, which can be more precise but also more complex to dial in.
