Modeling over 400 pieces of gear has required tens of thousands of hours painstakingly measuring the interactions between instruments, pickups and amplifier circuits, not to mention the cooperation of the worlds most iconic guitar players, amplifier manufacturers, and engineers to learn how to create and capture great guitar tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eAXE I O brings all that experience to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAXE I O offers an exclusive triple topology fully discrete input circuit, with both PURE and JFET input stages, to go from transparent to tube like with just a single switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts patent pending Z TONE impedance adapting circuit interacts with your guitars pickups to give you a massive range of tonal flexibility you have never heard before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAXE I O also includes a dedicated Amp Out, so you can create the perfect Tone Models of your amps and pedals using TONEX for Mac PC. Or process your recorded tracks using real guitar amps and stomps without the need for external accessories and without having to unplug your gear. This low noise output also eliminates ground loops during amplification and Tone Modeling to keep your high gain amps as quiet as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmpliTube TONEX\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAXE I O now ships with TONEX SE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel the sound of any amp, cabinet, combo or pedal, and turn it into a plug in to use on both Mac PC or iPhone and iPad for the ultimate tone experience.

But they are essential to capturing the most accurate details of your performance, for coaxing the best performance from your instrument, and for keeping your sound pure and transparent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAXE I O provides 2 Hi Z front 1 4 inch inputs for guitars and basses, 2 rear combo inputs with phantom power to connect mics and line instruments, and clear precision front peak meters to conveniently monitor the signal level at the channels input. Two floating balanced outputs, two unbalanced and one floating unbalanced Amp out plus a high current headphone out let you connect monitors, mains and headphones, with independent volume for both. A Monitor knob makes it easy to blend direct monitoring and the audio from your computer for zero latency monitoring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e24 bit 192 kHz conversion and an ultra stable low jitter internal clock ensures the highest fidelity, whether you are capturing vocals, acoustic instruments, amplified guitar or just direct signal for use with AmpliTube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut that is just scratching the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour guitars golden channel\u003cbr\u003eAXE I Os main channel offers 3 different circuit topologies that means you have 3 different options to adapt to any type of guitar, pickup and style so you can always dial in the perfect tone from any instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePURE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eA completely transparent and ultra accurate instrument preamp that will not color your sound in any way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJFET\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eA Class A JFET input buffer to add subtle harmonic enhancement.

And the 3 Hz 32 kHz frequency response preserves the full sonic impact of your instrument. Unlike the 20 Hz bass response in budget interfaces, AXE I O captures the full impact of even the deepest bass and will not artificially cut off sounds above 20 kHz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTone and feel like you have never heard\u003cbr\u003eGuitar pickups can dramatically change their character depending on the impedance of your preamp. Many guitar amps offer a load of 1 MOhms, while pedals can run much lower. That is why the tone and responsiveness of your guitar can change so much when plugging into different gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAXE I Os patent pending Z TONE circuit lets you dial in impedance from 1 MOhm sharp down to 2.2 kOhms bold that interacts with your pickups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the maximum impedance you will find your sound tighter sharper and more precise.
