    Atomic's Tonocracy 2.0 now free

    Guitar Maintenance: Tool Kit

    Wish Consistency to naming of amp models

    FM9 Latency - Around 5ms?

    Think you mean BPM unless your strings and picks are melting. 🫠 Latency should not affect the clarity. Notes would just arrive a few thousands of a second later but still be spaced the same. And if you want clarity reduce the distortion and ditch the drive.
