S2t ZFX Stack Package
A Complete Solution For Guitar and Bass Recording!
The Zoom ZFX Stack Package gives you an all-in-one solution for recording guitar and bass on the PC! Using the S2t USB audio interface, you can employ Zoom's potent ZFX software to sculpt your tone in nearly any direction imaginable - the Zoom ZFX Stack Package offers a wealth of legendary amp, cabinet, and stomp box models. Virtually move mics around and tweak your tone just like you would with a real amp - only without the lengthy setup time! For great tones, just plug into the Zoom ZFX Stack Package.
**Sculpt your tone with high-quality models
Zoom's newly developed modeling algorithms use precise analysis of impulse response and frequency response to emulate the sonic characteristics of tubes and transistors found on classic amps. They've also duplicated all the internal circuit processes as well, so you can tweak your tone in exactly the same way as the knobs and switches on the actual amp. For even more tone control, you can move the accurately modeled condenser and dynamic mics to any position: close miking for a grittier sound, or off-cabinet miking for more room ambience. The Zoom ZFX Stack Package includes a host of guitar amp, bass amp, cabinet, microphone, and stomp box models made famous throughout the years of rock history.
**Intuitive to use
With its intuitive user interface, the Zoom ZFX Stack Package's ZFX software is easy to setup and change while you play. Changing amp settings, cabinet layout, mic position and rearranging the stompbox effects is as easy as dragging and dropping. Alter your setup quickly and get immediate results, giving your creativity new sonic territory to explore!
**A host of preset patches
More than 300 tone presets are included, offering a variety of amp, cabinet, mic and effects setting combinations.

Zoom's also pre-programmed 50 specific artist sounds from rock, jazz, blues and heavy metal.
**Easily control miking and effects
With ZFX, you have complete control over the mic position within the recording booth. Whether you want a tight, gritty sound from the center of the speaker cone, a smooth sound from the edge of the cone or more room ambience by pulling the mic away from the cabinet, you can get the setting you want. Controlling effects is just as easy - all you need to do is click and drag your mouse to tweak the switches and knobs on each stomp box. Zoom in on an effect by double-clicking on it. By inserting tools such as a splitter or mixer, you can place multiple amps for even more flexible routing.
**Handy built-in tuner
The built-in chromatic tuner lets you quickly tune at any time. Special tunings are on-board and you can drop tune by a semitone or two as well.
**S2t audio interface for more than just guitars
With a cool "amp head" design, the compact S2t USB audio interface looks great on your desktop - though you can use it with more than just guitars and basses. You can also connect vocal mics or keyboards to experience high quality, 24-bit/48 kHz recording resolution - the S2t is complete with phantom power for your condensers. What's more, the Hi-Z input section features a 12AX7 tube, the classic guitar preamp tube. Blending the clarity of solid-state sound with the natural compression and saturation of a vacuum tube, the S2t with ZFX software creates a signature warm tone all its own. The S2t is USB bus-powered, so no extra power supply is necessary.

Cubase LE 4 is a powerful music production system that can handle recording, editing, and mixing tasks both for audio and for MIDI.
