CHUCK has four effects built in: REVERB, DELAY, CHORUS and WAH. That gives you everything you need for a flexible, versatile setup.
In both modes you can dial in deeper parameters for each effect (REVERB, DELAY, CHORUS, WAH) via Expert Mode.
To save a preset, dial in the settings you want and, in Preset Mode, press and hold one of buttons 1-7 for a few seconds. Once the save is successful, you get a confirmation on the display. In the STUDIO software, saving is dead simple via the "SAVE CHANGES" button in the preset tile.
The analog tube preamp is manipulated digitally by a dedicated circuit that lets you switch back and forth between different tonestacks and voicings. So you get the perfect mix of analog tube tone and digital flexibility.
Yes, you can easily load your own IRs into the IR Loader via the STUDIO software. Just head to the „IR Loader“ tile and manage the list using the "Manage List" button.

CHUCK uses high-quality ROAR E83CC tubes in the preamp. They guarantee you a rich, powerful sound.
