Extended range coupling capacitors help remove compression and give notes room to breathe. Low gain settings deliver touch-sensitive warmth, harmonic richness, and amp-like breakup. Crank it up and the Chihuahua becomes feral — aggressive mids, snarling saturation, and enough signature attitude to replace your previous go-to drive option, or give your pedalboard a fresh perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\"\u003eThen there’s the boost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\"\u003eEngage it and the bark turns into a bite; tightening the low end, adding sustain, and launching your amp into levels of glorious chaos that will cause a Line 6 \"Insane Channel\" to blush! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\"\u003eNeed a touch-sensitive preamp feel?
