IK Multimedia Z-TONE Buffer Boost Effects Pedal Black

Take live rig to a new level. Z-TONE Buffer Boost offers a high-quality instrument preamp with powerful tone-shaping options, switchable boost for extra drive and volume, and buffers signal so it doesn’t degrade over long cable runs or big pedalboards. It’s the ideal leadoff hitter for pedalboard or amp rig.Z-TONE Buffer Boost offers 3 different input circuits—3 different options to adapt to any type of guitar, pick-up and style. PURE: a completely transparent and ultra-accurate instrument preamp that won’t color sound in any way. JFET: a Class A JFET input buffer to add subtle harmonic enhancement. A slight midrange focus adds warmth, giving more tonal options from the same instrument. ACTIVE: bypasses unnecessary gain stages when using active pickups, to keep signal path as direct, transparent and clean as possible.Z-TONE Buffer Boost also includes IK’s patent-pending variable impedance control, letting change impedance to shape sound in unique ways. At max impedance, ’ll find sound tighter, sharper and more precise. Increase the load and the sound becomes thicker and more bold. can use this control to coax a wider range of sounds from a single guitar or dial in exactly the right vibe regardless of what comes next in chain.Use Z-TONE Buffer Boost to supercharge sound. The included Boost circuit offers adjustable gain to increase volume & drive, hitting amp or pedals harder.Long cable runs, low-impedance stomps and complex routing can degrade guitar’s signal, causing muffled, bassy or lifeless tone. To ensure signal always stays crystal-clear, Z-TONE Buffer Boost offers a transparent output buffer so always sound best.And Z-TONE Buffer Boost runs on a standard 9V battery or 9V pedal power supply, so it’s easy to drop onto existing pedalboard.
