A premium audio interface made for guitarists!

AXE I/O is a premium 2 IN / 5 OUT 192kHz compatible USB audio interface and controller designed for guitarists. It is equipped with various functions to not only maximize the guitar's original tone, but also to make guitar recording smoother.

○AXE I/O product overview and main features
AXE I/O is equipped with many guitar-specific functions even in the input stage.
The main input has two mode switches, PURE and JFET, which allow you to switch between a transparent sound without flavor and a warm sound with added harmonics. In addition, PASSIVE mode for passive pickups and ACTIVE mode for active pickups are available. In ACTIVE mode, unnecessary circuits are bypassed to make the most of the original tone of the guitar or pickup. In addition, the patent-pending Z-Tone allows you to adjust the input impedance to match the tone desired by the connected guitar or pickup. You can get the best sound possible without losing sound quality or muffled sound caused by impedance mismatch.

AmpliTube 5 MAX is a guitar/bass effect and amp modeling software that includes over 400 guitar/bass gear models, including ultra-realistic guitar and bass amps, cabinets, stomp effects, and microphones that behave like analog. You can select presets and adjust values with the knobs on the front panel of the AXE I/O, or connect external pedals/footswitches to control pedals and switches on AmpliTube. The mix software also comes bundled with 10 popular processors carefully selected from T-RackS 5. From compressors and limiters modeled after vintage outboard equipment to the popular integrated processor ONE, you can create world-class mixes and masters.
