Frequently Asked Questions
It's well-built compared to some budget options, but the tweeter quality lags behind more premium models; the EQ is fairly standard.
It’s more of a signal routing option allowing you to insert external effects – there's no built-in effects processor included.
The DI output is perfectly usable for recording; it provides a clean signal, though you might want to EQ it further for a polished sound.
