    DescriptionZ-TONE Buffer Boost

    Preamp/DI pedal with advanced tone shaping

    Guitar & bass pedalboards are all about exploring new tones & textures, creating a wide range of sound for your instrument. Z-TONE® Buffer Boost takes your live rig to a new level, letting you shape the sound of your instrument with the input circuits from our award-winning AXE I/O interface.

    Key Features

    • Active/Passive pickup selector
    • PURE channel for transparent sound
    • JFET channel adds warmth & harmonics
    • Z-TONE variable impedance control creates a wide range of tones
    • Buffers signal for longer pedalboards & cable runs
    • Boost circuit adds volume & drive
    • Alternate outs for mixers & PAs
    • Ground lift switch eliminates buzz & hum
    • Designed and made in Italy

    Z-TONE Buffer Boost Specifications

    Topology

    • Ultra low noise, high bandwidth and ultra low distortion preamp, buffer and direct box, with boost control and variable gain and input impedance.
    • Transformer-based galvanically isolated balanced output and electronically buffered low impedance unbalanced output.
    • PURE and JFET input stages for total transparency or added harmonics.

    Audio specs

    • I/O Gain: Unitary, from 1/4” input JACK to both 1/4” and XLR outputs when GAIN is at 0dB and Z-TONE at the SHARP position.
    • Gain Range: From -8dB to +8dB
    • Boost range: From 0dB to +10dB
    • Input impedance - Z-TONE set on PASSIVE mode: Variable from 1MΩ down to 2.2kΩ
