The MIMIQ DOUBLER allows for precise control over the doubling effect. Experiment with the knobs and switch to find your desired sound.

Nəzarət funksiyaları:
- Dubs Switch (1, 2, 3): This switch determines how many additional virtual guitar tracks are generated. '1' adds one track, '2' adds two, and '3' adds three. More tracks create a thicker, more expansive sound.
- Tightness Knob: This control adjusts the subtle timing and pitch variations between the original and doubled tracks. A lower 'Tightness' setting introduces more human-like imperfections, making the doubled tracks sound less synchronized. A higher 'Tightness' setting makes the tracks align more closely, resulting in a very precise and unified sound.
- Effect Knob: Use this knob to set the volume level of the generated doubled tracks. Increase for a more prominent doubling effect, decrease for subtlety.
- Dry Knob: This knob controls the volume level of your original, unprocessed guitar signal. Balance this with the 'Effect' knob to achieve the desired blend of dry and doubled sound.
- Həqiqi Bypass Ayaq açarı: Press the footswitch to toggle the effect on or off. The LED indicator will illuminate when the effect is active. True bypass ensures your signal remains uncolored when the pedal is disengaged.
