Know before you buy

Different pickups, especially passive ones, react differently to impedance levels. By offering six selectable settings, the FELiX 2 ensures your instrument's signal is loaded correctly, which prevents loss of high-end detail and ensures the most accurate frequency response.
Yes, the FELiX 2 features a versatile FX loop that can be configured for either dual mono or true stereo operation, allowing you to integrate your favorite effects pedals seamlessly into your signal chain.
Variable phase control is essential when blending two sources, such as a mic and a pickup. It allows you to align the phase of both signals to eliminate comb filtering and hollow-sounding frequencies, resulting in a fuller, more coherent tone.
