5. IK Multimedia Z-Tone Buffer Boost
With the IK Multimedia Z-Tone Buffer Boost, guitarists can enhance their pedalboards and stage rigs with Z-Tone tone shaping. This pedal allows you to adjust the input impedance of your preamp pedal before the signal reaches the rest of your pedalboard. It’s the perfect solution if you’re looking for top-notch sound and an extended frequency range. The Z-Tone Buffer Boost pedal offers true bypass at both the pedal and amplifier outputs, while the two balanced and unbalanced outputs enable bassists or acoustic guitarists to connect directly to mixing consoles and PA systems. A ground lift switch is also included to suppress hum and other unwanted noise. A buffered signal preserves the instrument's tone when using pedalboards and long cables. The boost control can then be used to increase volume and saturation as needed. The Z-Tone Buffer Boost pedal can be powered either by a 9-volt battery or a standard 9-volt power supply.
6. IK Multimedia Tonex
Tonex is the ultimate amp and distortion stompbox pedal from IK Multimedia, offering the ability to play with hundreds of included Tone Model rigs, custom-generated rigs, or an unlimited number of user-captured models from the IK ToneNET community, thanks to its groundbreaking AI Machine Modeling Technology (AIMMTM). Model any rig using the accompanying software, Tonex Machine Modeler, which captures the behavior of distortion, overdrive, fuzz, boost, compressor, and EQ pedals, amps, and cabinets, allowing you to load and play it in both your Tonex pedal and the AmpliTube Tonex plug-in. With the Tonex pedal, you can also model your presets with additional DSP processors like noise gate, compressor, tone EQ, and reverb, and replace the cabinet in the captured Tone Model rig with any third-party IR or use the advanced included VIR technology module, which offers double customizable microphone placement.
