The IK Multimedia Z-TONE Buffer Boost is an instrument preamp and DI stompbox offering versatile tone shaping and signal preservation for guitarists and bassists performing live or recording in the studio. By incorporating the triple-topology preamp from the award-winning AXE I/O, the Z-TONE Buffer Boost delivers multiple circuit selections and variable impedance, making it an ideal front-end for any player's rig.

Whether you play instruments with active or passive pickups, the Z-TONE Buffer Boost provides trustworthy signal integrity. At the flip of a switch, you can select the type of tone that suits your style best, be it clean and precise or warm and rich. The adjustable gain and switchable and variable boost ensure that you'll always be able to attain the perfect level.

Unbalanced 1/4" link and main outputs provide easy connectivity with amps and pedalboards, while the balanced XLR out is perfect for plugging into a mic preamp, stagebox, or mixer input. Since the Z-Tone is buffered, long cable runs won't compromise your tone. If you encounter buzz or hum, simply press the ground-lift switch to eliminate such noises.

Works great.
Color: Silver, Style: 1-Pack
I have to edit my review: the mouse itself is still working fine, I happened to get a bad batch of Kirkland batteries! I changed out the batteries with a different brand and the mouse is working perfectly!! Didn't last very long, have only had it 3 1/2 months and it has stopped working.

Fantastic keyboard
I did a lot of research before choosing this keyboard, and man am I glad I got it! The split is great, very comfortable. The arch is minimal, but it does the job. I also really like this scissor-switch technology, no more backspacing to fix a key that didn't register the first time! The built-in wrist rest is also really nice. I type a lot for work, and at a rate of 55 WPM. The keyboard gives just the right amount of feedback, and the keys are not mushy at all. It's also a very good looking keyboard, and is very responsive. I have heard some people mention (not just on this keyboard) that they have some lag/delay with their typing. I would bet the farm that they have plugged the receiver into a USB hub. If you're going to do that, then get yourself a USB extension cable, because the hub will cause interference with ANY wireless dongle you plug into it. Just a foot or so of distance from the hub will alleviate that. I found that out with my prior Logitech keyboard, after lots of searching around for what the cause could be. The ONLY thing I would improve is fairly minor: It does not have dedicated keys for Page Up/Down, Home, or End. You need to hold down the function key and use the corresponding arrow key for those functions. Not even remotely a deal breaker, this keyboard is fantastic in every other aspect.

Great Keyboard & Excellent Customer Service
I’ve been using this keyboard for almost 3 years and it has worked great for me the entire time. Comfortable, reliable, and perfect for long hours of work. The customer service was also great — very responsive, helpful, and professional throughout the process. Very happy with the product overall and would definitely recommend it.
