About this product
The IK Multimedia Z-TONE Buffer Boost is an instrument preamp, DI, and stompbox pedal designed for guitar, bass, and other electric or acoustic instruments, providing controlled signal flow and tone shaping for pedalboards, amplifiers, mixers, and recording equipment. It features an active/passive pickup selector and Z-TONE variable impedance control to adjust how pickups interact with the circuit, along with PURE and JFET channel options for transparent or warmer tonal response. The built-in buffer helps maintain signal quality across long cable runs, while the boost circuit increases output and drive when needed. With a balanced XLR output for direct connection to audio systems, a ground lift switch to help reduce noise, and flexible power options including battery, external supply, or phantom power, it supports both live and studio applications.
Preamp DI Pedal for Guitar Bass Instrument Signal Control
Instrument preamp, DI (direct) box, and stompbox pedal designed for guitar, bass, electric, and acoustic setups. Supports clean audio signal routing from pickups to amps, mixers, or recording equipment. Functions as a front-end processor for pedalboards, helping prepare tone for amplifiers, audio systems, or interfaces in studio and live environments.
Buffer Boost Pedal for Strong Signal and Tone Response
Integrated buffer and boost circuit helps maintain signal strength across pedalboards, long cables, and complex effects chains. Boost function increases output and gain to drive amps, processors, or modeling gear. Supports consistent audio performance when used with effects like overdrive, distortion, compressor, delay, reverb, and modulation pedals.
Z-TONE Impedance Control for Pickup and Tone Shaping
Variable impedance control adjusts how pickups interact with the preamp, shaping tone, EQ response, and playing feel. Works with magnetic and piezo pickups for electric guitar, acoustic instruments, and bass. Provides flexible tone control across clean, crunch, and gain settings without requiring additional equalizer or EQ pedals.
PURE and JFET Channel Modes for Clean or Warm Audio Tone
Dual channel design offers PURE mode for clean, transparent audio and JFET mode for added warmth and harmonic content. Functions as a tone-shaping processor within pedalboards or recording setups. Supports integration with amps, simulators, modelers, and IR-based systems for studio or live performance applications.
Balanced XLR Output DI Box with Ground Lift & Power Options
Balanced XLR DI output connects directly to mixers, audio systems, or recording interfaces. Ground lift switch helps reduce noise in live or studio environments. Supports flexible power via battery, external power supply, or phantom power, making it suitable for portable, home studio, or stage pedalboard setups.
