Itâs built to perform at every stage of the creative journeyâwhether you're jamming at home, performing live, or recording your next track for YouTube or SoundCloud.

This preamp delivers ultra-low noise, massive headroom, and that warm, analog depth the brand is known for. Itâs also the first mixer in the ZED lineup to offer multi-model effects, including a carefully crafted suite of reverbs and delays developed by A&Hâs in-house FX team. For guitarists, the ZED-6FX is especially accommodatingâit features two Guitar DI high-impedance inputs, so you can plug in directly without needing external DI boxes.
