Coming hot off some incredible Ultrawave sounds, Tri Pedal Reviews is back with a deep dive of the ZIO Analog Front End + Boost. We'd like to first make one thing clear: ZIO = "zee-oh"! Sorry, mate.
TPR puts the ZIO through its paces, demonstrating each mode in front of a clean amp, in front of a fuzz (the gorgeously high-gain Hizumitas by Earthquaker Devices, with a Gretsch baritone, a Les Paul, and being used to push a couple of different types of amps (a Fender tweed and a Vox AC30). To top it all off, he was kind enough to give you timestamps to you can jump straight to your favorite application, but of course we recommend watching the whole thing start to finish. How else are you going to spend 20 minutes?
