Description
The ZVEX DB-1 Analog Meter Pedal is a unique utility designed for players who want to monitor signal levels anywhere in their rig without affecting their tone. Unlike traditional signal meters, the DB-1 uses an ultra-high impedance input stage that allows it to sit virtually anywhere in your signal chain while remaining sonically transparent. Whether you're troubleshooting a pedalboard, comparing signal levels, or simply enjoying the visual feedback, it's a practical tool for players, builders, and tone enthusiasts alike.
At the heart of the DB-1 is an incredibly sensitive analog metering circuit that uses a 10 megaohm series resistor and a field effect transistor input stage to minimize loading on your guitar signal. The single Range control lets you calibrate the needle movement for different output levels and rigs, while the bidirectional design allows the input and output jacks to be used interchangeably without changing its operation. It's a refreshingly simple device that quietly does its job without introducing coloration or unwanted noise.
If you enjoy dialing in every aspect of your rig, the DB-1 is one of those clever tools that's as useful as it is fun. We appreciate that ZVEX engineered it to be genuinely transparent, making it easy to add visual signal monitoring without compromising the sound you've worked so hard to build.
