SARTO — tailor in Italian — is a studio-quality preamp and DI pedal designed for any musical instrument that requires precise clean-tone shaping.

SARTO is built around the now-renowned clean preamp circuit developed for the CAPO, sharing the same philosophy of precision tone shaping while expanding its capabilities with new features for even greater flexibility.

Designed to shape any instrument, from acoustic to electric, it’s a studio channel strip in a small box: extended EQ, resonant HPF, balanced XLR out.
Everything you need, nothing you don’t. Tailored to your sound.

What makes SARTO so special?

low-noise input stage with extremely high input impedance, making SARTO ideal for piezo-equipped instruments
resonant High-Pass Filter adjustable from 5 Hz to 200 Hz
expanded Tone Shaping featuring selectable shelving frequencies for both Bass and Treble controls
dedicated polarity switch, affecting both unbalanced and xlr out
professional studio-grade DI Output
compact format with top mounted jacks and power

The Ultimate Tone Partner

SARTO’s pristine transparency and surgical precision make it the perfect match for character-rich D.I. boxes that lack extensive EQ controls.
If you love the harmonic weight of our LUCE, SARTO is the missing puzzle piece; it lets you sculpt that rich, iconic color with absolute control, unlocking the full potential of your instrument.

Pair them up and craft your definitive sound!
