IK MULTIMEDIA Z-TONE DI

IK makes going direct more fun

- Stuart Williams

While IK Multimedia has long been a proponent of software modelling, its latest product is more of a creative tool than a full-blown interface. At its core, the Z-Tone is a DI box. Yes, there are hundreds of DIs available, and they sit somewhere between stands and gig bags on the list of Boring Yet Useful Purchases. They’re the guitar equivalent of broccoli: you know it’ll do you good, but you never really want it.
