Most everyone that has ever purchased an external amplifier is at least familiar with the term voltage gain. Simply, it is the degree to which an amplifier actually ...

In this article, we will finally answer the one question that has confused musicians for decades: What is the difference between "gain" and "volume" on your guitar amplifier? Although they may ...

Building on last month’s discussion of resistor noise, let’s check out some basics of amplifier noise. The non-inverting op amp configuration is most common for low noise applications so we’ll make ...

All electric guitar players know that the amplifier is just as important — if not more — as the guitar itself for shaping your sound. Each major amplifier model has unique dynamics and tonal ...

Current-feedback (CFB) op amps have earned their reputation in many applications that need bandwidth, without compromising other noise and high-speed characteristics. They have served these needs ...

While many op amps can claim either low noise or low distortion, the AD8099 high-speed op amp promises both. It specifies a voltage noise of 0.95 nV/vHz and a distortion of -90 dB at 10 MHz. Analog ...

CHUG's dual-function controls offer plenty of tone-shaping power in a pedal that is designed for splitting the atom with no-holds-barred, high-gain metal guitar When you purchase through links on our ...
