Effective from April 2010, Allen & Heath will ship the new ZED models with a full version of Amplitube X-Gear, the first fully modular, customisable and expandable amp and FX modelling software system, which can operate as a plug-in or a stand-alone application.
The software is a good companion for the ZED-10 and ZED-10FX models, which feature two innovative ultra high impedance discrete Class A FET (Field Effect Transistor) inputs, allowing an instrument to be plugged directly into the mixer, emulating the valve/tube input circuitry commonly found on instrument combos or amplifiers.
"The modelling capability of X-Gear, and the guitar and bass specific Class A FET pre-amps on the ZED-10 and ZED-10FX, make for an incredible combination," comments ZED designer, Mike Griffin. "Together they provide the home studio guitarist, solo artist or band with the complete package to produce great quality guitar performances."
