Expertly engineered with a deep passion for monster bass tones, the ZIO Analog Bass Preamp+DI packs massive punch and flexibility in a compact and easy-to-dial-in pedal. This ultra-low noise, all-analog tone shaping tool works equally well in front of your amplifier or as a preamp/direct box via its balanced XLR output. High-quality Burr-Brown Op-Amps and a straightforward yet versatile control panel deliver rich and dynamic tones with ample headroom and maximum tweakability.  From warm, vintage tones to modern low-end thump, ZIO is the first and final step in elevating your bass to its rightful place in the mix.

 

Total Tone Control

The ZIO Analog Bass Preamp + DI features a perfectly executed and  intuitive set of tone controls to take your bass sound wherever it needs to go.  When used in tandem, the BASS and FOCUS knobs offer tremendous depth and power.  The BASS knob provides colossal low-end boost at around 100Hz, while also gently reducing muddy low-mids to retain clarity. The FOCUS knob sweeps the cut-off point of a high-pass filter to tame excessive sub bass and low bass frequencies, providing extra headroom for a concise and punchy sound. Boost or cut the highs with the TREBLE knob to either enhance articulation without adding harshness, or smooth attack transients for a softer approach. The OUTPUT knob offers up to +16db of overall boost above unity gain or up to -6db of cut. Whatever your bass model or musical genre, ZIO offers tremendous tonal range.

Natural Drive
The GRIT toggle captures the magic of transformer-style breakup, the tone that occurs when a vintage tube amp gets pushed to overdrive. Adjust the amount of grit with a "set-it-and-forget-it” GAIN control located on the side of the pedal. It's not a fuzz, it's a natural crunch that adds just enough overdrive to lift your bass tone to a new level of aggression.

 

Punch & Clarity
Based on a time-honored studio maneuver, the SCOOP toggle enhances clarity by engaging an EQ curve based on the famous "Pultec Trick" (used by studio engineers from the 1950s right through today). Activating SCOOP mode triggers a low-mid cut to remove "mud" frequencies, a gentle presence boost in the upper midrange, and a natural-sounding high pass filter, to reduce low frequency rumble. It's a more "polished" sound to establish your bass more clearly in the mix.

 

Direct Impact
Enjoy the natural characteristics of a high-end bass amplifier when connected directly to a front-of-house mixer or audio interface. ZIO's DIRECT OUT is a balanced XLR output with a ground LIFT switch that delivers a low-noise, yet amp-like signal, equally effective in the studio or on stage. The inclusion of a standard 1/4 output allows for a parallel signal running directly to a pedalboard or the front of your bass amp.

 

A Higher Quality OP-AMP
After bench-testing about half a dozen popular op-amp chips spanning back to the 1970s, we selected the Burr Brown OPA1656 for its pure tonality, dynamic range, frequency response, and overall feel.  Its rail to rail output with a higher current capability delivers unmatched transparency and headroom. This 8-legged OPA chip was the perfect match for the ZIO's mission of delivering supreme amp-like bass tone in a compact housing.

 

Bassists are talking about ZIO...

"I loved my sound before, but ZIO gives so much body to my tone whilst keeping it the same. I really like what the SCOOP switch does and how it works with the BASS & FOCUS controls. The controls look simple, but they are very clever and well designed in their execution, enabling great sounds to be achieved very quickly.."
- _Tay_ on TalkBass.com

"I’ve found it hard to sound bad when using the Bass ZIO. It sounds great either straight into the effects return, or the power amp. I like keeping stuff simple and this does most everything I need."
- lowendrv on TalkBass.com

"Nice natural feel to the GAIN. I like that the GRIT switch adds some tube-y drive without being overpowering or messing with the other knobs’ EQ-ing. The BASS knob is really nice for adding punch without getting muddy." 
- LSMFT6 on TalkBass.com

"For me Bass ZIO adds detail and punch to all of my basses even with very subtle tonal tweaks. I also like using the GRIT switch and have the side trim-pot on a pretty low setting."
- johnk_10 on TalkBass.com

"I've bought and sold more preamp pedals than I want to remember. All left me with a very lukewarm feeling or just ambivalence about them. Zio on the other hand sounds like a bass preamp to me. Low end fundamentals really shine. This is a keeper."
- BadMonk on TalkBass.com

good for puppys young dogs, handle is separate, locking carabiners on both ends
Color: Orange, Size: 30FT
This is a good sturdy leash but probably wouldn't stand up to a conscientious chewer if your dogo has that bad habit. I like this one because the handle is separate so it can be used both as a tie out lead and as a regular lead. I also like the "locking" carabiners that should not open accidentally. I bought the thirty foot version because my new puppy loves to go outside then refuse to come back in or let me catch him when I need him to come inside (not catching me silly Hooman). When he's bigger I won't be so concerned about him being outside alone but since I'm in a sort of rural area, we have the occasional fox and hawk around when the sun goes down. Not too much to worry about in the way of pests but every puppy parent has an obligation to protect their young'un till they gain some wisdom. I have stairs in the back of the house, the way this is made I can attach it to the banister easily so I don't even need one of those tie stakes that bury in the ground. The price wasn't bad, the hardware looks sturdy and should last awhile. I just also bought the fifteen foot version, same quality as the thirty foot product I like that the handle is separate so it can be used as a tie down or a leash easily. My only big wish would perhaps be some more color choices, the orange is nice for visibility a yellow would be nice and then maybe some other colors like red/purple would be good as well. The thickness of the rope means that it doesn't "easily" get tangled into a giant knot. I leave the back door open and puppers can go in and out as he likes but he also sometimes runs around in the living room and thus far haven't had any large tangles to unwrap. He did manage to get the leash caught around a piece of tree branch that was on the ground (and complained loudly) but that was only because the branch was too heavy for him to drag the lead off of by himself. These leads are worth the money, I will likely buy a couple more to keep in the vehicle and other locations besides home.

My Go-To Leash for Outdoor Fun and Training with My Lab Puppy
Color: Orange, Size: 15FT
The Joytale Long Leash, specifically the 15-foot model, is an exceptional product that has seamlessly integrated into the daily activities of our black lab puppy. Purchasing this leash has proven to be a decision that greatly benefits both our family and our energetic puppy, especially during our adventures in the backyard and while hiking. The vibrant orange color of the leash stands out, which is not just visually appealing but also significantly enhances safety by ensuring the leash remains highly visible. This feature is particularly useful in varied terrains and during low-light conditions, providing peace of mind that our puppy is always within sight and safe. The leash's design, featuring a removable padded handle, has been a game-changer for comfort. The padding ensures that our hands are protected from any strain or discomfort, even during those longer hikes or when our puppy gets a bit too excited and pulls. This thoughtful inclusion has made our outdoor adventures much more enjoyable, allowing us to focus on the fun and bonding with our puppy rather than any potential discomfort. Equally impressive is the double hook mechanism that the Joytale Long Leash boasts. This feature has instilled a great sense of security in us, knowing that the leash is securely attached to our puppy’s collar or harness. It's especially reassuring during hikes in more challenging terrains where a secure leash attachment is crucial for our puppy's safety. The 15-foot length of the leash has been perfect for our needs. It provides ample space for our black lab puppy to explore and play, whether we're in the backyard or adventuring through hiking trails. This length strikes a perfect balance, offering enough freedom for him to explore while still under our control, facilitating a safe and enjoyable environment for him to learn and grow. Durability is another aspect where the Joytale Long Leash shines. It has stood up to the rigorous daily activities of our puppy, showing no signs of wear and tear. This durability is not only a testament to the quality of the materials used but also to the thoughtful design that has gone into making this leash a reliable accessory for pet owners.

Great long leash, would buy again
Color: Blue, Size: 30FT
Well-made leash, perfect for recall training and other situations where the dog needs a bit of space to roam without getting into trouble. Seems to be comfortable for the dog, as it is not inhibiting him from running around and playing. I bought the 30 foot length 3/8” diameter version. Light weight, good value for the price. Best feature is the locking carabiner, because my rescue pup “moonlights” as an escape artist. 🤣🤣
