Guitar players are an opinionated bunch. Jody and Chris discuss the differences between passive and active pickups. What are the differences? What should you be using? Is one better than the other? Listen and find out. Don’t forget there are Friday Finds inside. It’s also not unlikely that there will be some nonsense discussed.
Whatever you do, don’t leave your guitar plugged in while not playing.
What exactly is a preamp? What are the bare bones components? What is the signal flow? Why do we use preamps? Find out while seeing a walkthrough of the GrooveTubes Vipre Variable Impedance Preamp.
Chris and Jody dive in on a question sent in by listener Ignacio. He asked about using pre-amps for tracking things at home with limited inputs. What type of things is he recording? What kind of pre-amps did they suggest? It’s all inside for your listening pleasure. What are this week’s Friday Finds? (one is based on a major classic for guitar players) And, what is this episode’s Gold Star word? It’s also not unlikely that there will be some nonsense discussed.
Chris and Jody take a journey thru the history of the Fairchild compressor. One of the most sought after compressors. Who made it? Where do they get used? Who makes them now. The type of music and instruments they get used on. Of course there’s also the Friday Finds for this week. It’s also not unlikely that there will be some nonsense discussed.
