IK Multimedia AXE I-O & Amplitube 5 MAX Bundle

Premium audio interfacewith advanced guitar tone shaping

AXE I/O is a professional 2 in/5 out audio interface – and controller – designed specifically with the needs of the recording guitarist in mind, providing best-in-class sound quality and powerful features aimed squarely at making your recordings faster, easier and better than ever.

AXE I/O offers an exclusive triple-topology, fully discrete input circuit, with both PURE and JFET input stages, to go from transparent to tube-like with just a single switch.Its patent-pending Z-Tone® impedance-adapting circuit interacts with your guitar’s pick-ups to give you a massive range of tonal flexibility, you’ve never heard before.

AXE I/O also includes a dedicated Amp Out, so you can create the perfect Tone Models of your amps and pedals using TONEX for Mac/PC. Or process your recorded tracks using real guitar amps and stomps without the need for external accessories (and without having to unplug your gear). This low-noise output also eliminates ground loops during amplification and Tone Modeling to keep your high-gain amps as quiet as possible.
