I'm in love already.....just by looking at this sweet heart!

I question the placement of the XLR output placement.
I have seen other pedals with the same placement and still wonder what the designers are thinking.
It's not very pedal board friendly due to the size of the XLR connectors, unless someone have invented an extremely small type that I'm not aware of.
A 90 degree connector that directs the cable downwards would work.

I figure it's designed to be at the end of the signal chain, so the xlr would likely be sitting wide open. I think if someone were using it earlier in their pedalboard chain, they probably aren't as likely to be using the DI feature.
To me the XLR placement doesn't present a problem, but could you fill in what I'm missing?

Now to see if I can track one down here...

Right behind you!

Sounds great!

So I couldn't find anything on the website to confirm, but is the direct output of the ZIO Analog Bass Preamp + DI have any phantom power protection?

The switch is there to turn it on and off, right.
If you intend to use that switch and use the pedal as a drive pedal, it needs to be somewhere it's easy to reach.
Well, if you use it as a drive pedal, you might not use the XLR out.

Amazon U.K. sell right angle adapters - for most users the di out would go somewhere else rather than being routed internally on a pedal board.

After listening to all the demo's the thing that grabs me with the Bass Zio is the instant low end presence it gives. With it turned off, the original sounds don't sound bad but they really lack in body. Like a 'meat on the bones' kinda thing..

Looks like I'll be having another 'always on' pedal at some point soon

A few of those clips were really nice- both the Bass and Treble seem to be voiced really well, and even the Scoop switch which I would normally avoid completely. I do wish the Gain were a normal knob though (and that the clip would have run through different Gain settings)

Wonder how long it’ll be before someone 3D prints a knob assembly for that gain potentiometer.

Initially there was no trim at all. Then we planned for an internal POT. But, we thought you all would like to have some easier access. As Christopher notes in the other thread, this is not a traditional drive circuit.

Not really. A friend of mine made a MIDI device that physically turned analogue pots.

Funny enough I did try to make a knob-turner, and while it worked it was too large to realistically use/fit on any pedal
