Grace Design MOXi

The MOXi from Grace Design is a compact yet powerful dual-channel preamp and DI designed specifically for acoustic instrument players. Positioned as the sweet spot between the feature-rich FELiX and the simpler BiX, MOXi brings Grace's renowned audio fidelity to a more streamlined and pedalboard-friendly format. It's an ideal choice for musicians who require top-tier sound quality, flexible EQ, and dual-channel functionality without the complexity of larger systems.

Each channel features a musical-sounding preamp, independent 3-band EQ, and a 75 Hz high-pass filter, offering precise tonal control. The unit supports blending or A/B channel switching, making it perfect for multi-instrument setups. Key performance features include a transformer-balanced XLR DI output, a separate stage amp output, an FX loop with individual send and return, and footswitches for mute/tuning, A/B switching, and a 10 dB variable boost. Additional enhancements include phase reverse, 12V mic bias on each 1/4" input, and a robust build designed and manufactured in Lyons, Colorado.

Whether you're gigging, recording, or crafting the perfect live setup, the MOXi delivers exceptional sound, versatility, and reliability in a sleek and user-friendly design.
