Frequently Asked Questions

Passive mode offers a more organic, vintage tone while active mode allows for more precise EQ shaping with the Noll electronics, expanding tonal possibilities.
Ulrich necks generally have a comfortable, modern 'C' shape; however, the ebony fingerboard can feel slightly firmer than rosewood, which some players with larger hands might notice.
The USB-C port charges the active electronics; battery life is typically 6-8 hours of continuous use and a full charge takes approximately 2 hours.
