Frequently Asked Questions

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.
