This ultra-low noise, all-analog tone shaping tool works equally well in front of your amplifier or as a preamp\/direct box via its balanced XLR output. High-quality Burr-Brown op-amps and a straightforward yet versatile control panel deliver rich and dynamic tones with ample headroom and maximum tweakability. From warm, vintage tones to modern low-end thump, ZIO is the first and final step in elevating your bass to its rightful place in the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTotal Tone Control\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ZIO features an intuitive set of tone controls. When used in tandem, the BASS and FOCUS knobs offer tremendous depth and power. The BASS knob provides colossal low-end boost at around 100Hz while gently reducing muddy low-mids to retain clarity. The FOCUS knob sweeps the cut-off point of a high-pass filter to tame excessive sub bass for a concise, punchy sound. Boost or cut the highs with the TREBLE knob to enhance articulation without harshness, or smooth attack transients. The OUTPUT knob offers up to +16dB of boost above unity gain or up to -6dB of cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNatural Drive\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GRIT toggle captures the magic of transformer-style breakup, the tone that occurs when a vintage tube amp is pushed to overdrive. Adjust the amount with a \"set-it-and-forget-it\" GAIN control on the side of the pedal. It's not a fuzz, it's a natural crunch that adds just enough overdrive to lift your bass tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePunch \u0026amp; Clarity\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on a time-honored studio maneuver, the SCOOP toggle enhances clarity by engaging an EQ curve based on the famous \"Pultec Trick.\" Activating SCOOP mode triggers a low-mid cut to remove mud frequencies, a gentle presence boost in the upper midrange, and a natural-sounding high-pass filter to reduce low-frequency rumble.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDirect Impact\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnjoy the natural characteristics of a high-end bass amplifier when connected directly to a front-of-house mixer or audio interface. ZIO's DIRECT OUT is a balanced XLR output with a ground LIFT switch that delivers a low-noise, amp-like signal. A standard 1\/4” output allows for a parallel signal running directly to a pedalboard or the front of your bass amp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Higher Quality Op-Amp\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter bench-testing about half a dozen popular op-amp chips, Source Audio selected the Burr-Brown OPA1656 for its pure tonality, dynamic range, frequency response, and overall feel. Its rail-to-rail output with higher current capability delivers transparency and headroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures and Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra-low noise and distortion preamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e+\/- 12V high-voltage internal rails for active and passive basses (runs on a 9V power supply)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull tone-shaping control set with FOCUS high-pass filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGRIT and SCOOP modes for added tonal character\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXLR Direct Output with optional ground lift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrue Bypass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadphone output for direct monitoring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower consumption: 200mA (power supply not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrushed anodized aluminum housing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: L 4 in x W 3 in x H 2.25 in (including knobs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.75 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Source Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47533006356658,"sku":"ACSOUSA272","price":249.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0084\/0659\/7712\/files\/aa443958-c947-46b8-a322-bb464f9a2654.png?v=1779969538","url":"https:\/\/www.citymusicannex.com\/products\/new-source-audio-sa272-zio-analog-bass-preamp-di-guitar-effects-pedal","provider":"City Music Annex","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
