Reviews around thing (5.00 of 5)

  • I highly recommend this product if you are looking for a great usb mixer, this thing is phenominal.
  • The knobs are a bit cramped, but I found my mix so that may be a good thing because I won't change them often.
  • This is important for things like running a phoe line, or hooking up Skype to yoru mixer.

Reviews around reverb (5.00 of 5)

  • The effects are nothing special - but it is nice to have some reasonable sounding reverb, delay or chorus to wet things up a bit
  • The channels sound great, the reverb sounds great and it's sturdy.

Reviews around knob (4.21 of 5)

  • The knobs are a bit cramped, but I found my mix so that may be a good thing because I won't change them often.
  • The build quality is very good, the knobs are responsive and smooth in the transitions
  • All in all when I consider the price, the build quality, the pre-amp, the smooth-turning knobs, the responsive EQ and most importantly how good it sounds with everything from cheap Shure SM-57's micing guitar amps to vocal condenser mics to DI acoustic and electric guitars - this amp is definitely worth the price
  • The gradual and fluid change in the levels as you turn the knobs is far superior to what I'm used to with Mackie
  • Read remaining 7 reviews for knob

Reviews around effect (3.91 of 5)

  • The pre-amps are wicked nice and the effects are incredible
  • The sound and EQ are very good through headphones and the effects are really easy to use and the standard settings are adequate to cover most applications without the need to tinker with them
  • With Rode mics and Sunrise pickups it's dead quiet and the effects and pretty darn good
  • Also the onboard effects are useless
  • The effects are clean and realistic and the mice pre-amps are excellent.
  • Read remaining 10 reviews for effect

Reviews around usb (3.75 of 5)

  • I highly recommend this product if you are looking for a great usb mixer, this thing is phenominal.
  • I have yet to find a silent usb mixer with onboard effects
  • Don't let the USB 16 bit rating make you think this is a cheap low rated USB input.
  • Sounds crystal clear, USB works great

  • Featuring an essential collection of 16 time-delay effects ZED-FX ZED-10FX has an essential selection of 16 time-delay effects, designed for small groups who don't want to carry around an effects unit with their gear but who still want great quality FX at their gigs and on their recordings
  • Allen & Heath's DSP engineers worked hard, crafting and refining beautiful reverb algorithms to enhance every performance
  • These effects are available nowhere else at this price point - this quality and integration is only available from the ZED-FX
  • ZED effects are easily controlled using 3 buttons with 9 display LEDs
  • For example, the ideal delay time can be quickly tapped-in, or the perfect amount of reverb on the lead vocal can be dialed-in
  • There is one-stop navigation and editing--in fact, it's just as easy as using effects pedals
  • To alter effects parameters, the TAP button is held down and the up/down buttons pressed to adjust the specific parameter for that effect, for example, the decay length on PLATE, or the depth on CHORUS
  • Guitar DI ZED-10FX's pre-amps are similar in design to Allen & Heath's MixWizard range of mixers, but with a twist
  • Inputs 3 and 4 have a high impedance jack input capable of taking either a normal line level or a low level input from a guitar pickup
  • These newly designed inputs have been crafted with the aim of replicating the sound of a classic guitar or instrument tube pre-amp in a combo or head amp
  • An extremely high input impedance ensures loading on pick-ups is minimal and a Class A FET (field effect transistor) circuit powered from 48V is employed to give the valve-like gain stage
  • There is a gain "Boost" switch associated with the guitar inputs which boosts gain by 26dB to cater for instruments with very low level outputs and the overdrive characteristics of the guitar inputs are very similar to a valve (tube) circuit, being asymmetric and soft
  • All this makes for a wonderfully natural sound to be reproduced from the instrument, full of warmth and character
  • AmpliTube X-GEAR As if guitarists weren't spoiled enough with its Class A FET high impedance preamps, the ZED-10FX comes with access to a full version of IK Multimedia's AmpliTube X-GEAR software--the first fully modular, customizable and expandable preamp and FX modeling software system
  • All the ingredients are there for some truly legendary guitar and bass tones.
