EKO BAIO multi-effects with IRs - battery operated

With nine selectable preamp types that model legendary amps, you'll simply find your guitar sound crystal clear or powerful distortions controllable with the Tone and Drive knobs. The modulation section, accessible via the Mod knob, lets you add chorus and phaser. The integrated Delay effect controls via 3 knobs the Delay length (Delay), the number of repetitions (FB) and the presence of the delay in your signal (Mix). A Reverb is also available with a mix control (Rev). The IR button allows you to choose from eight impulse responses specially selected for the BAIO by renowned Italian guitarist Massimo Varini, who selected and adapted some of the best IRs from ChopTones®. From Blues to Metal, you'll have the ability to use a selection of amplifiers, cabinets, speakers and microphones in live and studio settings that are specially combined to deliver a realistic and convincing sound. With the Out control you can adjust the output volume of the BAIO and with the three footswitches you can switch between Preset mode - to use and set up the 3 recordable presets - and Live mode, where you can set the IRs / Rev, Delay / Mod and Preamp separately at the drop of a hat. With the footswitches, you can also activate the Bluetooth module (to play on your favorite backingtracks) or the built-in tuner, so it's possible to mute the sound (Mute function).

A versatile and connected tool for guitarists!

The rear panel features two standard jacks for input and output, an ON/OFF switch, a micro USB port for powering the pedal and recharging the battery with 6 hours of playing time. This micro USB connection also allows the connection to the computer to use BAIO as an audio interface and download new third party IRs. Thanks to the micro USB phone input, you can connect your smartphone to the pedal using the supplied cable and use the BAIO as an audio interface simply on your cell phone. There is also a mini-jack headphone output that will allow you to listen silently to the signal of the instrument and any Bluetooth playback at the same time.
The Eko BAIO software, available in PC and Mac version, allows you to manage all the functions available on the BAIO: it is possible to load and save external IRs in the 8 available slots; to edit the 3 presets by modifying each parameter (gain, tone, effects, IR ....) and save the changes in the 3 available presets; restore IRs and factory presets.
With all its practical features, the BAIO is therefore a compact and transportable all-in-one multi-effects to always have your favorite sounds under your foot!
