Simple, Powerful & LOUD! - Source Audio ZIO Bass Preamp

[@leftofcentergeartx2899]

I have used several of their pedals over the years. Needless to say, the C4 synth is a must play even though there are tons of existing demos on it. The Ultrawave is a very complex but rewarding pedal, especially if you like truly twisted/synthy/aggressive sounds.

Awesome demo, Patrick 😎🤘🏻🎸 that preamp pedal sounds really nice. And it’s pretty cool that it’s made by source audio. I own 2 of their pedals and they sound phenomenal. I would consider buying one if I ever needed a new preamp pedal.

Own it. Use it. Love it!

You could put another pedal before this to act as a boost so you don't have to turn the gain knob with a screwdriver to get more grit. Personally, I boost into my Sansamp using a compressor. I imagine that would work here too.

That's an awesome idea!! I've never tried that before, so I'm def gonna try it out now

I never considered using this before. If the pedal takes boost well you could use it as a 2nd channel

Sounds Great Pat! The only con I can see here is no real midrange control. 500 to 800 kHz so important in cutting through a dense guitar mix. Even a boost option to go along with the dip switch would have been nice.

[@shawnsaul7759]

Should bass boost or cut 500-800?

That rickenbacker sound clip 🔥

I’m glad someone finally made a bass preamp. Never seen one before

[@firemarshal2629]

I think this is the first time I’ve ever heard a pedal was analog and was disappointed. SA’s digital pedals are amazing and the amount of adjustments you can make through their app or a computer is cool.

Sounds great 🎉

Shout out to the King Gizzard Tee! LOL! How would you comapre the Zio to the OG First gen SansAmp?

[@MelonPlaysBass]

Does the pedal have to be engaged to use the XLR output?

[@solal94]

No pedal to get wild about it.
