Frequently Asked Questions
The MIDI bypass allows for silent switching when used with a MIDI controller or looper; you'll need a MIDI cable and a compatible controller capable of sending bypass commands.
No, this pedal is designed primarily for high-gain distortion; it’s not very versatile for subtle overdrive or clean tones.
It’ll really shine with a clean or slightly overdriven amp, allowing the pedal's distortion character to take center stage; a modern high-gain amp might be too much.
