Frequently Asked Questions

It’s more subtle than aggressive waveshaping; it focuses on nuanced timbre shifts rather than drastic distortion, leaning towards a more organic quality.
It's a multiplying effect, but Verbos’ implementation introduces a subtle filtering component, preventing harshness and adding a sense of depth.
A high-quality power supply capable of delivering at least 800mA at +12V is recommended to avoid voltage sag and ensure stable operation.
