Description

■Equipped with a circuit equivalent to the input of a classic Fender amplifier, there is no need to install any complicated drivers.
■An innovative device that delivers the original sound by transferring guitar signals with the correct impedance.

【Features】
- Equipped with a circuit equivalent to the input of a classic Fender amplifier
-Reproduces natural guitar tone -No power supply or batteries required
- No driver installation required - Simply connect to your guitar
Durable and lightweight metal construction (2.54 x 4.45 x 6.35 cm)
- Can also be connected to effects, mixers, and wireless devices

Typically, most guitar inputs (often labeled Instrument or Hi-Z) found on audio equipment such as audio interfaces, mixers, and wireless transmitters simply have a high impedance specification and are different from the input circuits of actual guitar or bass amplifiers.
This means that the guitar's original sound cannot be processed by the DSP, resulting in unnatural sounds such as being too bright or thin.
To solve this problem, MOTU, the company with the longest history and experience in computer-based audio processing on the market and still providing the most globally supported audio interfaces, came up with the ZBox.

The ZBox is equipped with an input circuit equivalent to that of a classic Fender amplifier, sending signals to connected devices with the same impedance characteristics as a guitar amplifier input, achieving the natural sound processing of the guitar's original sound.
This allows you to experience a more realistic amp sound than ever before when using software guitar amps known as amp simulators.

ZBox isn't just for audio interfaces and software.
Simply connect it to your guitar, such as a multi-effector, mixer, or wireless system, and this small box will transform all digital processing into a reality.

The ZBox is easy to use and requires no special drivers, software, or even a power supply.
Simply plug your guitar into Hi-Z or Lo-Z (whichever sounds better) and then connect the output to the instrument (Hi-Z) input on your device of choice.
