Know before you buy
Yes, the input is designed to handle both microphones and instruments. It provides 48V phantom power for condenser mics, but it works equally well for acoustic instruments or other sources requiring a high-fidelity signal path.
The FX loop allows you to integrate your favorite guitar pedals or rack effects directly into your signal chain. You can use the dedicated footswitch to engage or bypass your effects, and the mix control lets you blend the wet and dry signals to taste.
It is designed for both. While it excels as a pedalboard-friendly tool for live stages, its high-fidelity circuitry makes it a capable desktop channel strip for studio recording, offering the same pristine sound quality Grace Design is known for.
The sweepable mid control gives you precise command over your tone by letting you target specific frequencies to boost or cut. This is particularly useful for carving out space in a mix or removing harsh resonances from vocals or horns.
Yes, it features a dedicated mute switch. This allows you to silence your output instantly between songs or during setup changes without having to adjust your gain levels.
Absolutely. The ROXi includes both a 1/4-inch amp output with its own level control and a balanced XLR output. This allows you to feed your signal to a stage amp and the house PA system at the same time.
