Grace Designs - ROXi Microphone Preamplifier

The ROXi is a versatile and transparent tone shaping preamp that will take your sound to new heights. Built for microphone signals, the combo jack input on the back allows for line-level and instrument-level signals as well via a 1/4" TRS and TS jack respectively. Featuring a 3-band EQ, the low and high controls are preset shelves that musically shape the far ends of the EQ spectrum in a pleasing way. The magic of this unit comes with the mid contour. Select the frequency and use it to either cut away nasally mid frequencies that box up your sound, or use it to boost sensitive frequencies to cut right through the mix. This is the secret weapon to making your pickups or microphones sound natural and pleasing. The preamp itself is amazingly transparent, and provides your amplification with a low-noise and completely clean signal that delivers your true sound without any color. Beyond the tone shaping abilities, the extra functions make this unit into a true centerpiece for your setup. FX Send & Returns with a blend knob for effects, and a tuner, amp out, as well as a DI leaves many choices for where your signal goes after being shaped. Side dip switches change some parameters and options for the controls and outputs. All in all, this unit from Grace Designs is a top-tier device that, beyond acting as a centerpiece for functionality, will ensure your rig sounds as good live as it does to your ear.
