Waves

Description

The engineering brains at Waves and Paul Reed Smith guitars have put their heads together to create this high-quality interface which transforms your unbalanced high impedance guitar signal into a balanced low impedance signal, reducing hum and retaining your full dynamic range. The result is ultra-high fidelity at the most critical point in the signal path. The compact black box features studio-grade jacks, a large Gain knob, LED indicators for level, low battery, and power. It's transparent pre-amp and custom-designed circuitry are just what you need when you're ready to lay down your hot new guitar licks.

      This box works great, using it with a xlr to trs output cable results in a significant improvement in frequency range and dynamics compared to plugging straight into a hi-z input on a Digi 003. I A/B tested it and found it restores a lot of high frequencies and clarity. Only thing is it doesn't come with a power cord, only batteries, going to have to buy a power cord somewhere else for it. Great for recording direct into a DAW.
