Abstract

See full text

Amplifier circuitry that is operative to provide selective control of the amplitude of a musical signal as the signal transitions from the pre-amplifier to power amplifier components of an electric guitar amplifier. According to a preferred embodiment, at least one low variable power amplifier is integrated into the signal path from the pre-amplifier to the power amplifier components of the guitar amplifier. The low power amplifier allows for selective control of the amplitude of the musical signal such that the signal ranges from ‘zero volts’ to more than 100 DB. Such low power amplifiers may be selectively deployed in guitar amplifiers utilizing either Class A or Class A/B circuitry and enables a musician to have full control of the power amplifier from 0% gain to 100% gain at any tone selection and any power amp wattage, as may be desired.
