About this pedal
The ZIO Analog Bass Preamp + DI is an ultra-low-noise, all-analog tone-shaping tool built around Burr-Brown op-amps, usable in front of an amp or as a standalone preamp/DI via its balanced XLR output. Bass and Focus knobs shape low-end punch and headroom, a Treble control adjusts articulation, and switchable GRIT (transformer-style saturation) and SCOOP (a Pultec-style EQ curve) modes add character on top of the core preamp.
