Frequently Asked Questions
The Double Durple gives you more control and stacking options, essentially combining two Durples into one unit with added tone shaping – it's a more flexible option.
It’s best suited for lower-gain amps or cleaner platforms; stacking it with a high-gain amp can quickly become overly saturated and muddy.
The enclosure feels surprisingly solid – it's a decent thickness of metal, and should hold up well to gigging, though I wouldn't recommend dropping it!
