Z-tone DI Box

Want to track guitars the way the pros do, with a new level of sound quality and powerful workflow? Look no further than the groundbreaking Z-TONE® DI.

Z-TONE DI combines the award-winning sound shaping from IK's AX I/O interface with the flexibility to record both processed and DI guitar tracks at the same time, as well as best-in-class sound quality. It takes any audio interface (or live mixer) to the next level using the same techniques in the studio as pros like Joe Satriani.

Key Features:

• Active/Passive pickup selector
• PURE channel for transparent sound
• JFET channel adds warmth & harmonics
• Z-TONE variable impedance control creates a wide range of tones
• 20 dB pad for extended operating range
• Balanced & unbalanced outputs
• Link out splits signal to amps & pedals
• Ground lift switch eliminates buzz & hum
• Rugged, stage-ready metal housing
• Designed and made in Italy
