Source Audio ZIO offers four discrete preamp circuits: JFET, LOW-CUT, STUDIO, and E-PLEX. Each circuit has its own unique character and has been carefully crafted to maximize feel and performance. JFET, LOW-CUT, and STUDIO are all chiefly low-distortion circuits, while E-PLEX will add a bit of grit to your signal at most output levels. Each preamp circuit comprises the highest quality components and features all-original circuit design. <\/p>\n
The word “ZIO” is an acronym for Impedance (\u201cZ\u201d is the electrical symbol for impedance), Input (\u201cI\u201d), and Output (\u201cO\u201d). The pedal is designed to take a guitar\u2019s high impedance signal, sweeten the tone with any of its four preamp circuits, and output a strong, low impedance signal that won\u2019t be altered by the buffered dry tones of effect pedals further down the signal chain. High fidelity, noise-free Burr-Brown op amps help give ZIO extreme clarity and responsive pick dynamics, while maintaining ideal body and warmth. ZIO has four distinct preamp circuits. JFET offers a completely transparent signal boost with zero coloring or distortion. LOW-CUT reduces \u201ctubby\u201d bottom-end for a tighter sound with added headroom. STUDIO finds inspiration from the time-honored \u201cPultec Trick,\u201d a studio technique that adds clarity by cutting the \u201cmud frequencies\u201d and adding mid-range articulation. E-PLEX captures the focused and subtle grit of the preamps found in vintage Echoplex Tape Delay units. The ZIO\u2019s TONE toggle offers three different levels of capacitance (or simulated cable length) to brighten or darken the tone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
