Was looking for a realistic feedback replication since i don’t live in a space to do it loudly with a real guitar amp. This thing is so wobbly and uncontrollable that it’s almost un…peter replied to the topic Karanyi Customer Experience. Caveat Emptor. in the forum Virtual & Physical Music Gear Deals
Karanyi just sent out another email with a promotion, but I’ve decided to put them on pause, and it’s not just because of the way they mismanaged the situation with @jorge. Let me explain.
