Know the limits
- Editorial recreation; these settings have not been listening-tested on your setup.
- Pickup output, speakers, room, and studio layering remain differences; the numeric mapping is not an acoustic calibration.
- Wah movement is a performance choice; no recorded treadle choreography is stored.
- Rectifier channel/mode, EQ and presence interact; these positions are a starting point, not a calibrated match.
