Product Description

An all-analogue Preamp and DI for Bass Guitar

The ZIO Analog Bass Preamp + DI is an ultra-low noise, all-analogue preamp and DI for use with the bass guitar. The pedal offers maximum headroom and a simple but flexible set of tone-shaping controls. ZIO Bass can be used as a direct input using the balanced XLR output for connection to a mixer or audio interface as well as with headphones through its dedicated headphone jack.

Controls

  • OUTPUT: The OUTPUT knob offers +12db of additional boost plus a significant amount of cut.
  • BASS & FOCUS: The BASS and FOCUS control work best in tandem – use the BASS knob to increase low-end output and the FOCUS knob (which adjusts the cut-off point of a high-pass filter) to eliminate excessive lows and create added punch.
  • TREBLE: The TREBLE knob boosts or cuts the high frequencies, providing enhanced articulation without adding harshness.
  • GRIT: The GRIT toggle enables a mild distortion to mimic the transformer-style breakup from high-end bass amps. GRIT mode’s gain level can be adjusted for more or less distortion with the GAIN control located on the side of the pedal.
  • SCOOP: The SCOOP toggle engages a special midrange cut to clean up “muddy” mid-range frequencies.

The pedal has three outputs that can be used individually or simultaneously. The OUTPUT jack connects to an amplifier or pedalboard. The DIRECT OUT is a balanced XLR output that sounds great running into a mixer or audio interface for recording or live sound applications. The HEADPHONE jack features a high dynamic range, a low-noise amplifier that is capable of driving low impedance studio headphones.

Key Features

  • Adaptable to be used with any Bass – The “+/-12V” high voltage rails are installed for use with active and passive basses.
  • Direct Monitoring – The ZIO has a Headphone output so you can directly monitor your sound on the go.
  • Connect to your Amplifier or Pedalboard – Connect to your gear with the OUTPUT jack with ease.

Specifications

  • True Bypass Switching
  • Powered by (included) 9V DC power supply (2,1 mm plug, center -, 200 mA current draw)
