Frequently Asked Questions

The V1 focuses specifically on the Copper's character, offering a more direct emulation than the broader tones of the Wampler or Catalinbread. It’s a more specialized tool for a particular sound.
True bypass aims for minimal coloration, but even the best implementations can have *some* subtle effect; the V1 is very close to transparent when bypassed.
The V1’s EQ and gain structure handle humbuckers beautifully – it’ll give you plenty of thick, powerful drive. Single coils will also sound great, but the overall tone will be different.
