  • Studio Quality 24-bit 2-in/2-out Audio Interface

    Plug in an instrument and mic/line source to record or play live with incredible sound. The instrument input is optimized for guitar, with warm, mojo-infused tone, while the stereo mic/line input is ultra clean. The 24-bit AD/DA converters by renowned audio designer, Joe Bryan, move two channels in and out with clarity and vitality.

  • Control Guitar Effects and Switch Presets

    Five assignable knobs and four foot switches make it possible to control guitar effects and switch presets for use on stage while the 1/4 inch instrument and 1/4 inch stereo mic/line inputs are perfect for home or studio recording. Works with FourTrack, StudioTrack, GuitarTone and many popular third party applications.

  • Expression Pedal Input

    Add a standard expression pedal to control wah effects, volume, and more.

    Dual Mic Breakout Cable

    Mic two sources at the same time by adding this custom 4 foot TRS to 2XLF Y cable. Ideal for when you want to get a stereo recording, record an amp and vocals, or even capture two vocals at once!
