Description

Guitar tone is tricky business. We guitarists are sometimes forced to choose between great tone and utility. In this case, we dont have to choose, because SolidGoldFX has the Zeta DLX. Are you also tired of choosing? Venture ahead, brothers and sisters of tone.

The Zeta DLX combines three of the most useful tricks in the gain-based tonal world: Preamp, drive and boost. The entirety of the Zeta DLX comprises a preamp circuit, so that you can keep your tone fresh even if you have to go direct, or your amp options are limited on fly-out gigs. However, each since each side is individually switchable, we must look at the sum of the parts.

The left side of the Zeta DLX serves up a generous drive circuit that has extremely wide sweeps of all the parameters, from jangly boost to crunchy OD. Three of the toggle switches give you options to tailor the Zeta DLX to your individual needs. The Mids and Body toggles allow you to adjust the range of those particular frequency bands, while the Clip switch lets you change the clipping characteristics. A bonus trimpot inside even lets you adjust the overall gain of the circuit.

On the right side of the Zeta DLX is the JFET-equipped individually selectable boost function, with a single knob to control the amount. The B. Tone toggle gives you control over the bass frequencies of the boost, while Pre/Post lets you choose whether the boost goes before or after the drive circuit. You can use this to great effect when trying to get either a super-saturated dirt tone or a burlier version of the drive side.
