IK Z-TONE Buffer Boost

Variable input and boost

The Z-TONE Buffer Boost’s variable input Gain and Boost controls help you hit your preamp, pedals, or PA just right, from solos to rhythms.

Two switchable preamp channels

The Z-TONE Buffer Boost borrows its preamp circuits from the award-winning AXE I/O series. The PURE channel is a high-headroom transparent preamp that won’t color your sound. The JFET channel takes advantage of a Class A JFET amplifier that enhances warmth and midrange focus. And whether you’re running clean into a PA or colored into an amp, the Z-TONE Buffer Boost delivers quality results.

Patent-pending variable impedance control

The Z-TONE Buffer Boost’s variable impedance knob lets you precisely dial in your input impedance (1 MOhm–2.2 kOhms) to create some unique shaping capabilities. Turn the knob counterclockwise, and the sound will become tighter and more precise as the impedance increases. As you turn the knob clockwise, the sound becomes thick, saturated, and bold.

AmpliTube 4 suite included

The Z-TONE Buffer Boost’s included AmpliTube 4 software suite gives you over 100 class-leading amp models, virtual stomps, and cab IRs. British to American, squeaky clean to filthy rotten, decades of monster tone await you in AmpliTube 4. The robust Cab Room is the most realistic-sounding and -feeling miking application IK Multimedia has ever offered. You can even change the individual speakers in the different speaker cabinets. A Custom Shop program even lets you add the gear you want as you need. You can even scroll through AmpliTube presets (and many other software titles) from the front panel for the ultimate in convenience.
