DI Box
A direct box, preamp and buffer with very low noise, high bandwidth and ultra-low distortion, with variable gain and input impedance, the Z-Tone DI offers you a transformer-based galvanically isolated balanced output and an electronically buffered low impedance unbalanced output. Its PURE and JFET input stages provide total transparency or additional harmonics.

Presentation
Do you want to record guitars like the pros do?
With top sound quality and a powerful workflow?
Look no further than the revolutionary Z-TONE DI!
The Z-TONE DI combines the sonic shaping of IK's AX I/O interface with the flexibility of simultaneous recording of powered and DI guitar tracks, all with top-notch sound quality.
It takes any audio interface (or live mixer) to the next level using the same studio techniques as pros like Joe Satriani.
It lets you record two tracks simultaneously: the processed track from your amp and effects rig, and a direct track for post-processing using amp simulators like the included AmpliTube 5 SE.
This means you can record with your real gear, while enjoying maximum sonic flexibility, thanks to a second track that you can process and fine-tune at will, without having to record countless takes.
