IK Multimedia Z-Tone DI

Z-TONE DI lets you record two tracks simultaneously: the processed track coming from your amp and effects rig, and a direct track for post-processing using amp sims like the included AmpliTube 5 SE. This way you can record with your real gear, and at the same time have maximum tone flexibility with a second track that you can process and fine-tune at will, without having to record countless takes.

Guitar pickups can dramatically change their character depending on the impedance of your preamp. Thats why the tone and responsiveness of your guitar can change when plugging into different gear.

Z-TONE DI puts you in control, with the same variable impedance control as the award-winning AXE I/O audio interface. Dial in impedance from 1 MOhm to 2.2 kOhms to shape your sound In unique ways. At the maximum impedance, youll find your sound tighter, sharper and more precise. Increase the load and the sound becomes thicker and more bold.

Youll quickly find yourself using this to give your guitars even more sonic character, dialling in sound that fits beautifully into the mix without the need for EQ.

Best of all, Z-TONE DI is designed to preserve the natural tone of your instrument. With exceptional 114 dB(A) dynamic range and extended 5 Hz - 30 kHz (+/- 1 dB) frequency response, Z-TONE DI ensures every nuance and detail of your instrument is carefully maintained.
