IK Multimedia AXE I/O ONE USB Audio Interface

Record excellent guitar tones with the AXE I/O ONE, a guitar interface with Z-Tone impedance-adapting circuitry and a JFET input stage for extra warmth.

Overview

AXE I/O ONE is a simplified but professional 1-in/3-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.

iRig USB, iRig HD X, AXE I/O ONE...Which iRig Do I Need?:

AXE I/O ONE offers exclusively a triple-topology fully discrete input circuit, with both PURE and a JFET input stages, that can go from transparent to tube-like. Its patent-pending Z-Tone impedance-adapting circuit interacts with your axe for a massive range of tonal flexibility, never heard before. And a dedicated Amp Out lets you process your recording with real guitar amps and stomps without the need for external accessories and with massively reduced noise.

Axe I/O One seamlessly integrates with the included AmpliTube 5 SE and TONEX SE, plus all today's most popular recording software and practice apps.

Connect pedals and switches to get the most from your virtual rig without ever taking your hands off your axe, and enjoy pristine sound with the simplest, most accessible workflow of any audio interface in its class.
