The Source Audio Zio Front End + Boost is built to, in the company’s own words, “make everything sound better." In other words, it's much more than just a simple boost pedal. Featuring an all-analog design, the Zio boasts four distinct preamp circuits to take your tones to another level, whether it’s boosting your combo into low breakup or trimming the fat off a thrashing high-gain head! Guitarists love how intuitive the all-powerful Zio's controls are; output, circuit, tone, and switch are the only functions you’ll have to worry about, making it easy to dial in your favorite “always-on” setting. The tone switch simulates how different lengths of cable impact capacitance with self-explanatory bright, medium, and dark settings. A bypass/mute switch controls the dual outputs for easy switching between instruments, plus the ability to add a tuner without introducing it to the full signal chain. Boost pedals can sometimes come across as one-dimensional, but the power and versatility of the Zio truly sets it apart from the rest of its 1-knob brethren.

The Zio delivers a quartet of unique preamp circuits to perfectly dial in your sound:

JFET: This circuit has a remarkably similar response to a low-distortion clean tube amp input. Designed to function transparently, the JFET boosts without adding in any unpleasant harsh qualities.

Low-cut: Engineered to temper the “low-lows” that threaten to cause a rumble in your mix, this mode strictly impacts the low end with no changes to the low midrange. The Low-cut works great on guitars, bass, and synths to improve headroom and clean up your mix.

Studio: This mode takes inspiration from the famous “pultec trick” of the '50s to provide greater clarity to your sound. Studio mode delivers a distinct low-mid cut, slight upper-midrange boost, and a subtle highpass filter that produces a clean and natural sound that allows your guitar or bass to shine in your mix.

E-plex: Modeled on the famous '70s tape echo, this setting has all the vintage vibe of the original unit’s preamp. As a classic FET buffer/boost tone, the E-plex provides a slightly dirty, midrange-focused boost that is dripping with analog character.
