To avoid this, use a distortion, overdrive, or other effector to distort the sound, and connect a volume pedal after the effector.If the timbre of the amplifier is adjusted so that there is very little distortio
The layman's guide to understanding electric guitars and tube amplifiers.By Rob RobinetteHave you ever looked at the guts of a guitar amplifier and wondered what all those parts do? Well, I'll walk you through the signal flow and discuss the components in this very simple but great sounding...
After you have got all of your cables plugged in, turn your amp on and put everything the way you like. Generally, it's superlative to keep your amplifier reasonably unaffected when you are trying out a guitar pedal for the very first time and to get a feel for how it sounds, nonethe...
The job of the pre-amp is to boost the guitar's signal enough so that it can actually drive the power amplifier stage. Because an electric guitar is passive, its signal does not have enough power to drive the power amp directly. One of the interesting things about many electric guitar a...
How to Use an Audio Mixer (soundboard): In this instructable I am going to go through all the control features found on most mixers (mixing consoles, mixing desks, audio consoles, soundboards - they all refer to the same thing). I will start with the abs
Some mixers can connect an additional stage monitor via an aux output. Band or music group A typical band might require mics for drums (kick, snare), bass guitar (mic or line input), electric guitar (amplifier mic), keys (stereo line inputs), and a few vocalist microphones. Channels add...
Learn what is a signal amplifier, how does it work, its applications, benefits, and how they are used in the context of a data acquisition (DAQ) system.
As for the cable connections, you may use the computer in the guitar amplifier effect loop or you can for example connect the line out of the amplifier to the line in of the soundcard and listen to the output connecting the soundcard's line out to a stereo amplifier. n-Track allows to...
Thru-put— allows you to connect to an instrument amplifier along with the console. Polarity reverse— used when combining sounds that may be out of phase. Ground-lift— a switch found on DIs as well as many other pro audio products that separates the signal ground from the unit’s chassis...
Usually the signal is fed to a headphone amplifier or monitor speakers. Cue systems usually allow listening to the signal either before or after the fader has affected it. Pre-fader listening, abbreviated as PFL, lets you hear the original signal without sending it to a signal mix. After-...
