Best Answer

every guitar has a tone range.

every effect pedal has a tone range.

and thus, every amp has a tone range.

amps can make a world of a difference in the overall tone of the guitar or bass.

in the battle between solid state and tube amps,

no solid state that I've heard, even comes close to the beauty of hot tubes.

What is a Preamp?

PreamplifierA preamplifier (preamp) is an electronic amplifier which precedes another amplifier to prepare an electronic signal for further amplification or processing. Description In general, the function of a preamp is to amplify a low level signal (possibly at high impedance) to line-level. A list of common sources would include a pickup, microphone, turntable or other transducer. Equalization and tone control may also be applied. In a home audio system, the term 'preamplifier' may sometimes be used to describe equipment which merely switches between different line level sources and applies a volume control, so that no actual amplification may be involved. In an audio system the second amplifier is typically a power amplifier (power amp). The preamplifier provides voltage gain (about: 10millivolts to 1volt) but no significant current gain. The power amplifier provides the higher current necessary to drive loudspeakers. Preamplifiers may be: •incorporated into the housing or chassis of the amplifier they feed•in a separate housing•mounted in other pieces of equipment, such as turntables, microphones and electric basses.•close to the signal source, remote from the next amplifier -- eg: beside hi-fi system, then feeding into a computer in the home office. Examples •the integrated preamplifier in a foil electret microphone.•the first stages of an instrument amplifier.•a stand-alone unit for use in live music and recording studio applications.•as part of a stand-alone channel strip or channel strip built into an audio mixing desk.•a masthead amplifier used with television receiver antenna or a satellite receiver dish. http://www.answers.com/preamplifier?cat=technology

How do you mix 1 part bleach in a quart container?

Mixing things in 'parts' is using a ratio when mixing different things together. It depends upon what you are mixing with it. If you are mixing bleach to water at a ratio of 1 part bleach to 3 parts water, you would add a cup of bleach and three cups of water to equal one quart.

Difference between amplifier and feedback amplifier?

An ordinary amplifier can have high gain but is unstable, drifts, can oscillate, etc. An amplifier with negative feedback has lower gain but is stable, does not drift, won't oscillate, etc.


How do you identify a particular feedback topology in a circuit?

For analyzing the feedback amplifier, it is necessary to go through the following steps. Step 1 : Identify topology ( Type of feedback) 1. To find the type of sampling network (i) By opening the output if feedback signal becomes zero, then it is called "voltages sampling" (ii) By shorting the output loop if feedback signal becomes zero, Then it is called "Current Sampling" 2. To find the type of mixing network (i) If the feedback signal is subtracted from the externally applied signal as a voltage in the input loop, it is called "Series Mixing" (ii) If the feedback signal is subtracted from the externally applied signal as a current in the input loop, it is called "Shunt Mixing" Thus by finding the type of sampling network and mixing network, type of feedback amplifier can be determined. for example, If amplifier users a voltages sampling and series mixing, then it is called a voltages series amplifier

What cable do you need to hook your mixing board to your power amp?

You need to find out what output connections are on your soundboard and what input connections are on your amplifier. If you don't know this, a 1/4 inch cable usually will work at both ends.
