Frequently Asked Questions

The recall function stores settings for the active filters and THD adjustment, preserving the passive band frequencies while allowing for quick preset switching.
The extended range offers more aggressive boosting and cutting, useful for corrective EQ or more pronounced tonal shaping, but requires careful gain staging.
The IRON PAD provides a solid level of protection, but extremely sensitive gear might still benefit from an external pad for an extra margin of safety.
