The XLR or Cannon-type connector is clearly a better audio connector than a 6. 5mm jack plug and socket, but tradition makes the 6. 5mm socket mandatory despite its serious connection problems. Inputs range from a single socket connected directly to the grid of the first stage, no resistors or blocking cap (Marshall PA); and up to six ( Vox AC-30 II), all different. When the input is plugged into

the upper socket the input has 1M to ground and two 68k in parallel, 34k, in series. In the lower input the input resistance is two 68k in series, 136k, and divides the input in half (-6dB). The cathode bypass capacitor on the lead channel is much lower value, 0. 67 uF, causing more AC negative feedback across the 2k7 at lower frequencies, so producing a `toppy` channel. The outputs are mixed downstream. Ideally the common of the socket should be isolated from the chassis to prevent earth loops. Commonly available isolated sockets are not nearly robust enough for guitar input service. XLR`s are tougher, but they don`t come with switch contacts. Simple amps have only one amplifier channel even when they have a lot of input sockets. Different signals are mixed early in the chain and amplified together. More complex amplifiers provide two or more channels. Normally they were an un-effected channel with its own tone and volume controls; and an effected channel with its own controls including reverb and tremolo/vibrato. These were then mixed into the main power amplifier. There is no reason why channel switching cannot be applied to a valve amp if desired, but it is important to have an `at-a-glance` indicator to show you which channel is selected. The anode and cathode resistors are typically 100k and 1k5 as shown, or 220k and 2k2, always with a 25uF/25V bypass. This was not a great choice since they only have around 2 volts on...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
