Re: Comparison of triple play and axon by the inventor

Hi

Ref "Tracking of the Triple Play – just like the Axon, or any other guitar
synth – is optimal in MONO mode"

Sorry if this a silly question ! Is it that much more 'optimal' ?

The reason I ask is because I like 'stereo' effects ' as I am a bedroom
player.

It can get complicated very quickly for a dyslexic please keep it simple.

In any event kind regards db
