Zoom ZFX – C5.1t USB Guitar Audio Interface w/ foot controller

The ZFX C5.1t from Zoom combines sophisticated amplifier modeling software with a USB audio interface that together provide guitarists and bassists the ability to create great tone using an intuitive software/hardware setup.

Zoom will be familiar to most Guitar Select Members as a long–established manufacturer of rackmount studio processors and, especially, guitar effects. 

Accelerator Blends Tube and Solid-State Sound

The Hi-Z input section of each interface features a 12AX7 tube, the classic guitar preamp tube. Blending the clarity of solid-state sound with the natural compression and saturation of a vacuum tube creates a warm, organic tone that only comes from ZFX interfaces.

XLR microphone inputs with phantom power

Two balanced XLR inputs with 48V phantom power are on board for use with condenser microphones to record vocal or acoustic instruments.

Real-time Control

The C5.1t has an expression pedal and five function switches. While playing your guitar, you can control preset parameters and effects of the ZFX with your foot for comfortable, professional feeling performance. The expression pedal not only handles regular effect control functions such as volume, wah or pitch shift and can also be used to adjust modulation rate or reverb mix level in real time. The five assignable switches can be used to turn effects on/off, toggle patches, perform tap tempo input, activate bypass mode and more.

Includes Cubase LE4 powerful music production system that can handle recording, editing, and mixing tasks both for audio and for MIDI.

With its intuitive user interface, we’ve made ZFX easy to setup and change while you play. Changing amp settings, cabinet layout, mic position and rearranging the stompbox effects is simple with our unique drag and drop operation. So you can alter your setup quickly, and get immediate results, unleashing your creativity in ways that were previously unimaginable.
