The Ultimate Tone Shaper!
Tone is more than just guitars, amps and pedals: it's your voice as a player.
Once your core elements are brought together, you can refine your sound or even push it to a whole new level!
This is where Zenith comes in: a powerful EQ, Boost, and Compressor delivered in one compact and flexible package.
From subtle tone shaping and compression that is felt and not heard, through to extreme sound sculpting, Zenith’s three circuits cover it all.
Digitally controlled switching then allows the 100% analog EQ and Compression circuits to be accessed independently, all via one OptoKick footswitch!
Gig tone at home levels.
With its balance of EQ and Compression, Zenith is also the perfect FX loop attenuator.
When you've found your tonal nirvana at gig volume, turning an amp down to practice levels often results in EQ changes and dull tones.
By running Zenith in the FX loop, you can first bring down the volume with the Level control without affecting preamp gain!
Adjusting the EQ then brings back your original tone. And, by adding a touch of compression, the feel of tube sag returns with musical bloom.
With Zenith, you can recreate the sound and feel of your amp at its best at all volume levels!
