1 Power up the Z-TONE Buffer Boost
Z-TONE Buffer Boost runs on a standard 9V battery, +48v phantom power from your mixer or 9V pedal power
supply, so it’s easy to drop onto your existing pedalboard. If the battery is installed and P48 phantom power is
provided on the balanced out, the +48V will have priority over battery.
To access to the battery compartment it is necessary to remove the screw holding the cover.
2 Dedicated guitar features
2.1 JFET / PURE input
Thanks to the front panel selector it is possible to select two different preamp topologies for your connected
instrument: JFET preamp type and Pure preamp type.
The discrete JFET (field-effect transistor) circuitry adds a tiny bit of color and harmonics to the signal, giving your
instruments a bit of added warmth.
Pure circuitry results in a more linear response featuring the absolutely cleaner signal path possible, for best
transparency and clarity.
Each amplifier topology offers complimentary sonic performance to the other, and both are widely used in
professional recording and stage work. Note: this control only works when the Pickup selector is on the Passive
position.
