Quick tuning!!!

-This Unit works pretty quick. -The numbers are very small and really hard to see when it's on the floor. -the dual outputs are very useful. It can be used at the same time. One of these output channels can be muted when you stomp it on but another one will always pass the signal pass through. -True bypass.
