The AXE I/O SOLO provides a triple-topology instrument input designed to capture every unique detail of your guitar's character. IK Multimedia’s powerful Z-Tone feature allows you to further adapt the input for any guitar or bass, discovering sounds you never thought possible. The Z-Tone dial varies between ‘sharp’ and ‘bold’ via a user-controlled knob. This varies the tone from precise and tight right through to thicker and bolder. This becomes particularly beneficial when inputting bass guitars.
A switch located on the AXE I/O SOLO’s guitar channel is dedicated to choosing between active and passive pickups. This alters the interface's response depending on your instrument’s pickup design. In passive mode, the AXE I/O SOLO accommodates everything from low-output vintage pickups to hotter modern humbuckers. This is achieved with ultra-low noise and extended frequency response. In active mode, the interface bypasses unnecessary gain stages when using active pick-ups. This ensures a signal path as direct and transparent as possible.
The instrument input also offers a switch between ‘PURE’ and ‘JFET’ modes. When in ‘PURE’ mode, the channel provides a completely transparent and ultra-accurate preamp circuit that will not add colour to your signal path. JFET mode introduces a Class A JFET input buffer to the circuit. This provides subtle harmonic enhancement, midrange focus and warmth.
AXE I/O SOLO offers a high-definition, Class A mic preamp designed for transparent and clean recording. This provides an extended, flat frequency response capable of capturing the full tonal range of the sound source. The best in class dynamic range also makes the mic preamp suitable for ultra-quiet recordings.
The AXE I/O SOLO offers a dedicated ‘Amp out’, which removes the need for external and often expensive re-amping setups. The output utilises a ground-isolated design and zero-latency routing to connect to your amp. This can then be easily mic’d up using AXE I/O SOLO’s microphone preamp. Record a clean take of your instrument with the Z-TONE channel then send it to various amps, stomp boxes and settings until you find the perfect sound.
