Simple & Effective Adjustments

UTILIZATION

Three simple knobs + deep, already presented.
Hey drapeau_rouge the famous switch in the top left is quite usable: Just open the beast. This feature enables a very useful bass boost, enough to settle, there is a swith to select the frequency (87Hz/115Hz), and a potentiometer for adjusting the gain applied at this frequency, 0 to +12 dB (I seems).

SOUND QUALITY

Very good, very heavy distortion, but sounds very natural (dirty <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" /> But natural)
