Four Iconic DI Models
We meticulously modeled four iconic DI boxes to give you a wide variety of tonal options.
![DI_inset_2.jpg](/media/images/DI_inset_2.width-800.jpg)
Tube 1 Vacuum tube DI character with rich harmonics and thick low frequencies.
Tube 2 Vacuum tube DI character with a clear attack and tight low frequencies.
Solid State 1 Delivers moderate compression and sharp tones for electric bass, while protecting against the loss of low frequencies when playing an upright bass with piezo pick-ups.
Solid State 2 Solid state DI character with a clear tone and little distortion.

Built For Your Significant Other
Separate inputs allow you to A/B switch from electric bass to synth or acoustic bass, and back again.
Both inputs let you change the impedance from 1M to 10M ohms, giving you a cleaner tone for upright basses equipped with piezo pickups.

NEW PREAMP MODELS
Clear Drive
This original ZOOM Clear DRV preamp uses a linear phase filter in the distortion path. As a result, phase interference is eliminated during dry mixing, providing a clear drive.
Super Low Preamp
A ZOOM original preamp for super low sound. Using “missing fundamental” acoustic science, SpLoPre is equipped with a bass enhancer, which emphasizes the low end of every note. With a Lo EQ and a negative one octave sound, a super low-end tone is produced.
![Dimitry playing through his B6](/media/original_images/effects_6.png.1600x0_q80_crop-smart_size_canvas_upscale.png)
Djent Preamp
An original ZOOM preamp recommended for Djent sounds. This preamp combines an undistorted low-end with a strongly distorted high-end to provide a crisp, intense distortion even with a down-tuned 5-string bass.
1073 Preamp
A thick, warm sound of a vintage mic preamp with transformer distortion.
Solid Preamp
Modeled after a console’s solid state mic preamp, the SolidPre delivers tight sounding harmonics with the ultra-low frequencies cut out.
