OTG Recording and Bluetooth Music

The pedal supports Mobile Phone OTG Recording Function, allowing direct recording to compatible mobile devices. It also features Wireless BT Music Function, enabling audio playback through the pedal for practice or jamming.

ANN Algorithm Modelu Sain

The Tank Mini utilizes ANN (Audio Neural Network) Audio Modeling Technology. This technology allows the pedal to learn and accurately reproduce the sound characteristics of various amps, single pedals, or cabinets, achieving high-fidelity timbre sharing. This enables the Tank series to restore sound details of different devices.

How to Achieve Sound Cloning:

  1. Connect a classic monoblock (or similar device) to the sound card. The left channel is the original sound, and the right channel is connected to the classic monoblock. Generate audio through the host recording software.
  2. Use the official ANN software to model, learn, replicate, and imitate this audio, generating an AM2 format file.
  3. AM2 files can be loaded and imported into Tank series products for use.
