Frequently Asked Questions

The Mutable Instruments Waveshaper offers significantly more control and shaping options, but the Tiptop is simpler and more immediate for a specific, classic fold sound.
Diode-based designs inherently have some noise; it's usually manageable but can become apparent in very quiet mixes or with extreme gain settings.
The sub-octave is a direct result of the folding process; it will always be harmonically rich and distorted, not a clean fundamental.
