Preamps

Preamps are an extremely important part of your signal path. In simple terms, they take your guitar's quiet electrical signal and convert it to a line level signal, or one strong enough for further processing and tone shaping without affecting audio quality and keeping a low noise floor. This processed signal is the one that then gets passed along to your power amp and recording equipment.

There are a host of fantastic guitar oriented preamp devices available, from pedals to channel strips to rackmount units, from a wide host of brands including MXR, Victory Amps and Laney among a host of others.

Why Do I Need a Preamp?

• Converts your guitar's weak electrical signal to one strong enough for further processing
• Many preamps let you fine tune your guitar's tone
