FAQ
Can a beginner use it?
Yes. It has a few simple controls and a single footswitch, so you can start with the knobs at noon and adjust by ear.
Will it change my tone when it is switched off?
No. It uses true bypass, so your guitar signal passes straight through when the effect is off.
Where should it go on my pedalboard?
Put distortion before modulation, delay and reverb pedals.
