Frequently Asked Questions
It means the overdrive intensity reacts to your picking dynamics – lighter picking yields cleaner tones, while aggressive picking delivers more gain and sustain.
They’re straightforward, but the manual provides recommended settings for different amp types and tonal goals. A little experimentation yields the best results.
The AH Booster is more transparent and less mid-focused than a Tube Screamer; it preserves more of your amp's original character while adding a subtle boost and warmth.
