. Want to track guitars the way the pros do with a new level of sound quality and powerful workflow? Look no further than the groundbreaking Z-TONE DI.
Z-TONE DI combines the award-winning sound shaping from IK’s AXE I/O interface with the flexibility to record both processed and DI guitar tracks at the same time as well as best-in-class sound quality. It takes any audio interface (or live mixer) to the next level using the same techniques in the studio as pros like Joe Satriani.
A whole new way to record
Z-TONE DI lets you record two tracks simultaneously: the processed track coming from your amp and effects rig and a direct track for post-processing using amp sims like the included AmpliTube 5 SE.
This way you can record with your real gear and at the same time have maximum tone flexibility with a second track that you can process and fine-tune at will without having to record countless takes.
Powerful tone shaping options
Z-TONE DI offers a high-quality instrument preamp with exceptionally low noise and wide frequency response and multiple circuit topologies to adapt to any type of guitar pick-up and style.
Premium sound & build
Best of all Z-TONE DI is designed to preserve the natural tone of your instrument. With exceptional 114 dB(A) dynamic range and extended 5 Hz - 30 kHz (+/- 1
