Rain Recording

Overview

Ready to rock (and roll). GuitarPAK featuring Zephyr ultra-mobile audio workstation includes everything you need to create, perform, practice and play your music wherever you are. It's true plug & play for guitarists.

Portable powerhouse. Powerful enough to crunch a ton of tracks, portable enough to take it with you when you go. Zephyr is designed to take the show on the road whether you're playing 8 different cities or headlining Giant Stadium.

Tone to the bone. Plug in to the TonePort UX-2 audio interface and dial yourself up a tone that would make Eric Clapton insane with jealousy. It's all courtesy of the folks at Line 6. No one works harder at bringing your axe into the digital realm.
