FAQ

Can I use the pedal with a bass guitar?

Yes, the analog signal path and adjustable parameters make it suitable for bass, allowing you to tame low‑end dynamics while preserving punch.

What type of battery does it require?

The pedal runs on a standard 9 V alkaline battery, but you can also connect it to an AC adapter for continuous power.

Is the Parallel Clean Blend reversible?

Yes, turning the control fully clockwise blends 100% dry signal, while fully counter‑clockwise gives 100% compressed signal.

Does the pedal affect my tone when the blend is set to dry?

When set to dry, the pedal’s circuitry remains in the signal path, but the high‑grade components ensure minimal coloration.

Is there a warranty?
