Bass Effects
Direct box, Boost and Buffer, the Z-Tone Buffer Boost lets you change the grain and feel of your guitar or bass, so you can go through the biggest pedalboards and boost power and overdrive all your gear with a powerful new booster. It offers a high quality instrument preamp with exceptionally low noise, wide frequency response and multiple circuit topologies to suit all types of guitars, pickups and styles. It is supplied here with Amplitube 5 MAX software, a collection of over 400 models of amps, effects, cabinets, pickups, etc.

Presentation
Guitar and bass pedalboards let you explore new timbres and textures, creating a wide range of sounds for your instrument.
Z-Tone Buffer Boost takes your stage equipment to a new level, allowing you to sculpt the sound of your instrument with the input circuits of the AXE I/O interface.
- Choose your microphone:
PASSIVE: designed to suit everything from low output vintage pickups to warmer modern humbuckers, with ultra-low noise and extended frequency response.
ACTIVE: bypasses unnecessary gain stages when using active mics, to keep the signal path as direct, transparent and clean as possible.
- Choose your channel:
PURE: a completely transparent, ultra-precise preamp circuit that won't colour your sound in any way.
JFET: a class A JFET input buffer for subtle harmonic reinforcement, a focus on the midrange and warmth of sound.
Guitar pickups can change radically in character depending on the impedance of your preamp. That's why the tone and response of your guitar can change completely when you plug it into different equipment.
Z-TONE Buffer Boost gives you the same variable impedance control as the AXE I/O reference audio interface.
Adjust the impedance from 1 MOhm to 2.2 kOhms to shape your sound uniquely.
At maximum impedance, you'll find your sound cleaner, sharper and more precise. Increase the load and the sound becomes thicker and fatter.
Long cables, low impedance pedals and complex routing can degrade your guitar's signal, causing a muffled, poor or lifeless sound. To keep your signal clear, Z-TONE Buffer Boost features a transparent output buffer so you can always get the best sound possible.
And Z-TONE Buffer Boost features a true bypass circuit, so it's completely transparent when not in use.
It's supplied here with the MAX version of Amplitube 5 software, which gives you access to over 400 amp, cabinet, microphone and effect models, including :
Fender Collection 1 & 2
AmpliTube SVX 1 & 2
AmpliTube Orange
AmpliTube Mesa/Boogie
AmpliTube Slash
AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix
AmpliTube Brian May
