The AXE I/O Solo is a compact, yet feature-rich 2-in, 3-out USB audio interface that delivers advanced tone shaping capabilities and premium sound quality. It is the perfect tool for musicians seeking a high-fidelity recording solution that's both portable and versatile.

The main channel of the AXE I/O Solo offers three distinct circuit topologies tailored to accommodate any type of guitar, pickup, and playing style. The PURE setting provides a completely transparent and ultra-accurate signal path, while the JFET setting introduces a Class A JFET input buffer for subtle harmonic enhancement. The ACTIVE setting is optimized for active pickups, ensuring the signal path remains as direct, transparent, and clean as possible. The innovative Z-TONE circuit allows for precise impedance adjustments, enabling you to fine-tune your tone from tight and sharp to thick and bold.

For seamless integration with your recording setup, the AXE I/O Solo includes a dedicated Hi-Z Amp Out for effortless re-amping, as well as a Preset knob and two dedicated controller inputs for real-time control of AmpliTube or other software. The interface boasts a pristine PURE mic preamp, an impressive 117 dB dynamic range, an extended frequency response from 3 Hz to 32 kHz, and 24-bit, 192 kHz AD/DA conversion, ensuring that the full sonic impact of your instruments is captured with clarity and detail.

AmpliTube 5, the latest iteration of IK Multimedia's flagship amp and FX modeling software, complements the AXE I/O Solo with its redesigned interface and resizable display. The new VIR (Volumetric Impulse Response) cabinet engine, along with over 143,000 impulse responses, brings unparalleled realism to your sound. The software also features a custom impulse response loader, improved signal chain routing options, and an expanded rig that can handle up to 57 simultaneous effects.

The bundle includes a vast array of gear: 47 stomps, 34 amps, 27 cabinets, 13 speakers, 36 racks, 11 microphones, and 8 rooms, totaling 176 pieces of equipment. AmpliTube 5 introduces 5 new amp models, 2 new stomps, and 19 new rack effects, along with over 100 completely re-captured cabinets.
