A versatile module for guitar, vocals, drums, keyboards, effects, and more.
The key to the MuseBox is its custom software environment that utilizes computer technology turning it into a musical instrument that works in any situation for any kind of musician. With it you can harness the world's best-sounding virtual instruments and most versatile, tone-laden effects and take them anywhere - and everywhere.
Featuring incredibly flexible I/O, it offers front-panel guitar and microphone inputs, MIDI, and USB. This means you can play through it, sing through it, process your keyboards, play along to backing tracks, and even create lush keyboard sounds with your MIDI controller. If you play guitar, you can use it to run amp modeling software, multi-effects libraries, and more. If you're a vocalist, enhance your sound with reverb, compression, de-essing and pitch correction in real time. If you play keyboard, the MuseBox lets you run virtual pianos and delicious sounding virtual instruments with super-low latency and superb stability. If you are all three, even better!
Sounds great right out of the box
MuseBox comes pre-loaded so you can simply turn it on, press the PLAY button, select the sound of your choice, and you're off and running in though a superior sounding world of virtual instruments and effects. It's got all the meat-and-potatoes keyboards you'd need for any gig. Guitarists will dig Peavey's ReValver HP Guitar Amp Modeler for its killer sounds. There is also an ample supply of essential effects, including Reverbs and Chorus. Its SoundFinder preset architecture lets you quickly sort through thousands of presets to find the exact sound you're looking for and automatically adds new presets whenever you load additional virtual instruments and effects into the MuseBox. The front panel allows quick-and-intuitive access to whatever you have loaded, so you can call up sounds, tweak parameters, edit effects chains, whatever you need in an instant.
