Frequently Asked Questions

Engaging the THD button subtly introduces harmonic distortion, adding a pleasing warmth and saturation – it’s not extreme, but noticeable and controllable.
Yes, the recall function stores your EQ settings in non-volatile memory, so they are preserved even when the module is powered down.
Passive EQs draw power from the signal itself, so you'll need a stronger preamp signal to drive it effectively, requiring more headroom than an active EQ of similar character.
