The MOTU ZBox is the missing link for digital guitar processing. Guitar amp-modelling plug-ins sound stunning, but they can't reproduce one crucial part of the signal path: the physical input impedance of a real amplifier. ZBox matches the output impedance ("Z") of your guitar pickup to the very different impedance of a non-amp input — such as the instrument/preamp input on an audio interface, mixer, recorder, PA or wireless transmitter — so your guitar sounds natural and feels right.
ZBox provides authentic Hi-Z and Lo-Z input jacks, just like the dual inputs on many classic amps, complete with an analog simulation of the input tube grid for true amp-style response. Simply plug your guitar into whichever input sounds best, then connect ZBox to your destination device's guitar input. Housed in a rugged, lightweight metal enclosure, it pairs perfectly with amp sims like Digital Performer's Custom '59, IK Amplitube, Waves GTR and Native Instruments Guitar Rig.
