Frequently Asked Questions
The 'MOD' switch attenuates the high-pass filter, boosting bass frequencies; it's great for modern rock tones but might muddy things up for cleaner styles.
While designed primarily for guitar, the 'MOD' switch makes it usable for bass, though EQ adjustments may be needed to tame the highs.
It distinguishes itself by replicating a specific, highly-regarded vintage overdrive, offering a more focused sound than broader, more versatile options.
