Frequently Asked Questions
The modelling is decent – it won't fool anyone into thinking it's a high-end vintage guitar, but it provides a usable approximation for adding character and warmth.
Yes, the included MAA-1 adapter allows for microphone input; the anti-feedback filter is key to taming stage rumble and getting a usable signal.
