Frequently Asked Questions

DL is a standard delay, REV is a reverb, and D+R combines both effects, allowing for a simple, blended echo and ambience.
It's primarily designed for silent practice; the headphone output is the intended primary use, though it can drive a small combo amp at low volumes.
Closed-back headphones with a decent frequency response will provide the best experience; avoid overly bass-heavy models as they can muddy the tone.
