The two channels of a stereo amplifier are fed the same monaural audio signal, with one channel's electrical polarity reversed. A loudspeaker is connected between the two amplifier outputs, bridging the output terminals. This doubles the available voltage swing at the load compared with the same amplifier used without bridging.
Tri-amping is the practice of connecting three channels of amplification to a loudspeaker unit: one to power the bass driver , one to power the mid-range and the third to power the treble driver . The terms derive from the prefix bi-meaning 'two', tri-meaning 'three', and amp the abbreviation for amplifier.
Guitar wiring refers to the electrical components, and interconnections thereof, inside an electric guitar (and, by extension, other electric instruments like the bass guitar or mandolin). It most commonly consists of pickups , potentiometers to adjust volume and tone, a switch to select between different pickups (if the instrument has more ...
The search for volume was taken on its next logical step with the advent of "daisy chaining" two or more amplifiers together. As most amplifier channels have two inputs, the guitar signal being present on both sockets, the cunning musician hooked the spare input of one channel to an input on another amplifier.
The two common guitar amplifier configurations are a combination ("combo") amplifier that includes an amplifier and one or more speakers in a single cabinet, and a standalone amplifier (often called a head or amp head), which passes the amplified signal via a speaker cable to one or more external speaker cabinets. A wide range of speaker ...
An instrument amplifier is used with musical instruments such as an electric guitar, an electric bass, electric organ, electric piano, synthesizers and drum machine to convert the signal from the pickup (with guitars and other string instruments and some keyboards) or other sound source (e.g, a synthesizer's signal) into an electronic signal ...
