Source Audio Zio Analog Front End Boost Guitar Effects Pedal

ZIO is Source Audio’s first all-analog effects pedal and designed in collaboration with Christopher Venter, the owner and sole engineer at SHOE Pedals.  ZIO is a deceptively flexible unit that can serve many different purposes at various places in your signal path.  Use it at the front of your chain of effects to shape the rest of your outgoing tone, after your drive pedals as an overall tone sweetener or clean volume boost, or at the the end of your pedalboard to drive a long cable run or as a restorative device to recreate the sound of your guitar going directly into the input of your amplifier.   You can also use the ZIO in your amp's effects loop if you want to drive your power amp even harder, or to compensate for a level mismatch between two channels.  Specifications Circuit knob with four distinct preamp circuits: JFET (transparent, flat frequency curve), LOW-CUT (cuts lows without affecting mid to high frequencies), STUDIO (replicates “Pultec Trick” equalization), E-PLEX (inspired by the preamp in an vintage Echoplex Tape Delay unit) High quality components and Burr Brown JFET op-amps Output control with up to +20dB of signal boost 3-way Tone toggle switch with bright/medium/dark cable capacitance voicing 2-way Footswitch Action toggle switch (with always-on “Mute” option) Extra Tuner/Line Output True Bypass Input Impedance: 1 Mega Ohm (1 M?)
