Frequently Asked Questions
The Caprid replicates the core tone but in a smaller footprint; component choices and slight circuit tweaks optimize it for the compact enclosure.
Absolutely; the Orange/Violet transistor pairing contributes to the Caprid’s clarity, dynamic range, and authentic vintage character compared to standard components.
While it excels with vintage amps, the Caprid’s thick fuzz can add a unique character to modern amps, but you might need to dial back the amp's gain to avoid muddiness.
