EPI

The Analog Alien EPI (Effects Pedal Interface) is a high-end routing pedal designed to enable users to take the signal from their effects pedal and record it directly into a DAW or analog tape deck professionally, without any loss of signal or fidelity. The EPI automatically adjusts the impedance and voltage levels coming from effects pedals to interface properly with professional recording studio levels. It features dual effects send/return loops with separate foot-switches, balanced XLR, buffered 1/4", and RCA -10dBu outputs, and a guitar thru-output for connecting to an amplifier or guitar tuner. The EPI can be used to switch between two different pedal-boards, act as an A-B-Y box, a direct box, a re-amping device, or as a four-way splitter. It also has multiple uses such as a DI (Direct Box), re-amping tracks from a DAW, recording with effects pedals, bypassing an entire pedal-board, playing through up to four amps simultaneously, and switching between two different pedal-boards. The EPI has two separate insertion points (A&B;) that enable users to set up two separate signal chains and blend both signal paths independently from each other, and then combine them at the balanced XLR, buffered 1/4" or RCA -10dBu outputs. Additionally, the EPI can accept a direct signal from the output of a DAW or mixing console and can be used in live stage situations to hook up two separate pedal boards and have each board on independently or both on at the same time while simultaneously sending the effected signal to the house PA and the guitar amp.
