THE PROCEDURE SUGGESTED BY THIS VIDEO AND BOOK The signal chain (or signal path) includes every wire, cable, plug, switch, and other device that passes the signal from your guitar pickup to the speaker (or microphone). As an electric guitarist, it is your job to be aware of the effect of every component in your signal chain. Concentrate on basics first. Get a good sound with just a guitar and amp, before adding effects and other devices. Here is a general order of procedures: • check your microphone placement, if recording or sending to a PA or monitor (Chapter 6) • choose a guitar, pickup, amp and speaker combination (Chapters 2 and 3) • find the power amp distortion reference setting (Chapter 3) and listen to the envelope (Chapter 1) • adjust the input gain and tone on the amp (Chapter 4) • if desired, add an equalization device to the signal chain and adjust it (Chapter 5) • recheck your microphone placement and setup the mike preamp and noise reduction (Chap. 6) • play through the system, make necessary adjustments to components or to your technique B. VOLUME CONTROL Passive and Active Volume Controls. A passive volume control does not increase amplification of the signal when it is turned up. Instead, it allows all of the signal to pass through when it is turned all the way up. It grounds out increasingly more of the signal as you turn it down. When a signal is connected to ground, it loses power. An active volume control employs a transistor pre-amplifying circuit so that when you turn the knob to increase the volume, it is amplified. With the passive volume control, turning the volume knob to increase the volume doesn’t amplify the signal, but makes it louder by reducing the amount of the signal that is connected to ground. Volume Control On the Guitar. It is preferable to turn passive volume controls fully clockwise so the full volume of the pickup is allowed to pass through to the amplifier. The more a passive volume control on a guitar is turned counterclockwise, the more of the harmonic content of the guitar is not heard. Some of my electric guitars have no volume controls.
