What style of music is this pedal best for?

The Tai Chi best for blues, jazz, classic rock, and country. It delivers smooth, vocal-like overdrive—not designed for hard rock or metal. Ideal for players wanting warm, touch-sensitive saturation.

Does the R-02 include a power adapter?

No, the power adapter is not included. It requires a 9V DC center-negative adapter. No battery compartment—adapter only. Isolated power supply recommended for cleanest performance.

I hear unwanted hum or buzz. What can I do?

This is usually power or cable related. Start with one guitar, one amp, and two known-working cables. Avoid noisy daisy chains, unstable power supplies or power outlet. If the issue continues, send us a message through the Amazon order page.

My guitar sounds very quiet, muffled, distorted, or has no sound. What should I check?

Check cables. If guitar is in OUTPUT and amp in INPUT, signal is reversed—weak, muffled, or no sound. Correct: Guitar → INPUT, OUTPUT → Amplifier. Ensure 1/4" plugs are fully inserted.

The pedal sounds distorted even at low settings. Is this normal?

Yes. The Tai Chi is designed to add soft saturation at all settings.
