Frequently Asked Questions
It’s magnetically actuated, offering a much quicker and more responsive feel – almost like a click rather than a full press. This allows for more nuanced tap tempo adjustments.
While the EQ is versatile, using it with a darker amp will likely still require some tweaking. The active EQ can really help brighten up a dull signal, but it won’t completely compensate for an inherently dark tone.
The 'Trails On' function is generally clean, even with high-output humbuckers, due to the pedal's well-designed circuitry. However, extremely noisy pickups might still exhibit a slight hiss.
