Notes
Tone recipes, and straight answers
Two kinds of thing. Recipes are sounds you can build, with the gear and the actual knob positions — taken from the app's own rigs, not from memory. Answers are the questions people ask about guitar apps, answered properly once.
Everything here is checked against what the app actually does before it publishes. If a number is wrong, the build fails.
