ZFX Plug-In Software with C5.1t USB Controller

Zoom's newly developed modeling algorithms use precise analysis of impulse response and frequency response to perfectly emulate the sonic characteristics of tubes and transistors found on classic amps. And we've duplicated all the internal circuit processes as well, so you can tweak your tone in exactly the same way as the knobs and switches on the actual amp. For even more tone control, you can move the accurately modeled condenser and dynamic mics to any position: close miking for a grittier sound, or off-cabinet miking for more room ambience.

Zoom ZFX C5.1t Features:

• 12 guitar amplifiers made famous throughout 50 years of rock history.
• 5 bass amplifiers for classic bass tones.
• 16 cabinets to be used in any combination you need.
• 41 stompbox effects to add depth and color to your sound.

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.

Begin with its easy-to-read catalog view of all the models available and double-click to bring up detailed descriptions to find just the right component for your desired tone. Adding or changing amps is easy via drag and drop.

With ZFX, you have complete control over the mic position within the recording booth. Whether you want a tight, gritty sound from the center of the speaker cone, a smooth sound from the edge of the cone or more room ambience by pulling the mic away from the cabinet, you can get the setting you want.

Click and drag your mouse to tweak the switches and knobs on each stomp box. Zoom in on an effect by double-clicking on it. By inserting tools such as a splitter or mixer, you can place multiple amps* for even more flexible routing.

* The number of amps and effects that can be used simultaneously depends on the computer environment.

More than 300 tone presets are included, offering a wealth of amp, cabinet, mic and effects setting combinations. Chose from vintage rock tones, country, jazz and blues to ultra modern or heavy metal setups with a double-click of your mouse. And we've also pre-programmed 50 specific artist sounds from rock, jazz, blues and heavy metal.

The built-in chromatic tuner lets you quickly tune at any time. Special tunings are onboard and you can drop tune by a semitone or two as well.

The C5.1t is USB audio interfaces specifically designed for the needs of guitarists. The C5.1t foot controller to put your effects on the floor. Connect guitars, basses, vocal mics or keyboards and get high-quality, 24-bit/48 kHz recording resolution. USB bus powered so an external power supply is not necessary.

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.

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

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.
