Cathode Biasing sounds and feels more urgent and dynamic at lower volumes but compresses quickly as the volume goes up.

This will not add any noise, gain or volume to your signal so if you experience such changes when using an effect pedal, they will be caused by that effect.
  • Page 8 Output Power WARNING! The Sheriff 44 has been designed to achieve a very high sound pressure level (SPL) so caution is required when playing in high power mode or hearing damage may result. The following measurements were taken at 240V mains input into an 8 Ohm load using a 1 KHz Sine Wave with the output waveforms set just before clipping.
