Frequently Asked Questions

It's surprisingly decent, offering a warm, slightly vintage tone – think old-school tube amp emulation, but without the high-end clarity of premium models.
The aux input is primarily for playback from a phone or device – it's more of a convenience feature than a recording interface. You'll need a separate audio interface for recording.
