Source Audio ZIO Analog Front End + Boost pedal
Introducing the New Source Audio ZIO Analog Front End + Boost pedal which comes with four distinct preamp circuits. JFET offers a completely transparent signal boost with zero colouring or distortion. LOW-CUT reduces “tubby” bottom-end for a tighter sound with added headroom. STUDIO finds inspiration from the time-honoured “Pultec Trick,” a studio technique that adds clarity by cutting the “mud frequencies” and adding mid-range articulation. E-PLEX captures the focused and subtle grit of the preamps found in vintage Echoplex Tape Delay units. The ZIO’s TONE toggle offers three different levels of capacitance (or simulated cable length) to brighten or darken the tone.
