Recording gear for authentic sound
A compact premium interface essential for guitarists
AXE I/O (2 IN/5 OUT), developed under the concept of ""for guitarists,"" has been a hot topic among many guitarists since its release. AXE I/O SOLO (2 IN/3 OUT) is a compact premium interface that condenses the specifications of AXE I/O into a compact body and an affordable price.

AXE I/O SOLO is developed based on IK's 20 years of analog modeling and hardware research, evolving guitar recording to something faster, easier, and higher quality than ever before.

The ultimate channel carefully thought out for guitar
AXE I/O SOLO is equipped with three circuit topologies. This allows you to get the best sound for any type of guitar, pickup, and playing style.

Pickup Selection
PASSIVE
This circuit amplifies the input from passive pickups with the best tone. It is compatible with everything from low-output vintage pickups to the latest humbuckers.
ACTIVE
When using active pickups, you can get a direct, clean sound by bypassing unnecessary gain stages.
AXE I/O SOLO is equipped with the same Z-TONE circuit as AXE I/O, which has become a hot topic for its continuously adjustable input impedance, and the input impedance can be adjusted between 2.2 kΩ (BOLD) and 1MΩ (SHARP).

Increasing the impedance value (turning it to the SHARP side) will produce a sharper, more crisp sound, and decreasing it (turning it to the BOLD side) will produce a softer, thicker sound.
