The sub-frequency control adjusts the fundamental bass response, allowing you to dial in the perfect amount of deep low-end punch or tightness for different bass guitars and playing styles.
Can the Fly 3 Bass be used for guitar?
While optimised for bass, the Fly 3 Bass can technically amplify guitar, though you will find the bass-specific tone shaping less ideal for typical guitar applications.
