The CAPO is a powerful preamp and D.I. capable of studio-grade clean sounds, harmonic saturations and everything in between. It features four different preamps, two XLR balanced outputs and endless routing possibilities in a pedalboard-friendly format.
A SIDE - consists of three very different preamps: a fixed-gain clean preamp (unaffected by the GAIN control) is mixed with two saturator circuits via the BLEND mini-knob. You can control the amount of saturation using the GAIN knob and mix the J and F circuits via the STYLE knob (N position is a perfect mix of the two circuits, so you get a boost in volume too).
A three band eq helps in shaping your sound with familiar controls: a BASS control boost and cuts ±12dB @80Hz (shelving), a semi-parametric MID control boost and cuts ±9dB @100Hz10KHz (band pass) and a HIGH control boost and cuts ±12dB @4KHz (shelving). DEEP and BITE switches provide a perfectly tailored bottom-end boost and just the right enhance of string attack. LEVEL controls the output of the pedal.
B SIDE - is the fourth preamp featured in the pedal, it is controlled by dedicated GAIN and LEVEL mini-knobs. It is normally routed before the A SIDE but it can be moved after hitting the B->A A->B switch.
D.I. - the pedal has two XLR balanced outputs that work as long as the pedal is powered: DIRECT OUT is routed right after the INPUT without any processing; PREAMP OUT is routed after all the preamps, eq and loops. Ground (GND/LIFT) can be lifted from both DI outputs and phase (Ø) can be flipped from the DIRECT OUT output.
LOOP EFFECTS - The CAPO features two send/return loops: PRE is routed before the preamp but after the DIRECT OUT; POST is routed after the preamp but before the PREAMP OUT. POST loop is always active but can be linked to the A SIDE switch pushing the LINK A SIDE switch.
Unbalanced OUTPUT and balanced PREAMP OUT are affected by a selectable low pass filter (LPF) tailored to smooth out the top end when needed, even with the preamp bypassed.
