Classic Guitar Method Volume 1

Have a new Takamine and no volume control on the guitar--I put this on my mic stand and it's perfect!!!

GREAT FOR VOCALS AND ACOUSTIC GUITAR CLASSIC SOUND GREAT LOOK STAR QUALITY.

I needed to control the volume for an acoustic guitar with a pickup. This volume control does the job quite well. I am well pleased with its performance.

It does what it is supposed to do. It helps me lower the stage volume without compromising the tone of my AC30TBX. I also use a18 to record guitar in my apartment, and this helps me turn up my amp volume to a playable spot without disturbing my neighbors!

This compressor is incredible for pedal steel guitar. Channel 1 goes to volume pedal, 2 and 3 stereo at end of chain for more comp/limiting of peaks and noise gate since I have single coil pickups. Full control, perfect!

Remember when you used to sit in class, and everyone was supposed to be working on a written assignment? The room would be mostly quiet, with the scratching of pencils on paper... and then you'd hear the intercom switch on. You'd get a couple seconds of faint hiss, followed by a slightly distorted announcement about the lunch menu, then the system would click back off. THAT is exactly what this amp is designed to do - amplify things to a decent level at very low cost (therefore, the noticeable hiss). I built a quirky little custom guitar speaker cabinet with a 3x3 array of 4.5 Jeep Cherokee factory speakers. I was going to use it as an extension cab, then found this little gem. I figured I'd turn my cab into a full-fledged combo. After rewiring the speakers to 2 4-ohm stereo sets, I plugged this amp in, hooked up my guitar (through the mic jack), and the rest is history. The sound is of acceptable quality while at normal practice / listening volume. When I crank it up to about half way on the mic knob, the loud hiss starts (even with all knobs at 0 volume on my guitar and pedals). 10% THD is VERY high compared to most guitar amps, but it was a great deal, compared to buying an AC-to-DC converter and using a car amp which was my original plan. You simply won't find a little amp that does what this one does, for any cheaper.

I use this with the Ilford Mutligrade FB Classic, Glossy, and obtain consistent results. I am doing fairly low volume contact printing (10-20 4x5 prints in a session) and I get good results on day 2 after storing in a capped bottle overnight.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had the privilege to welcome the authentic 500 into our home. Let me start by saying if I want the neighbors to hear my music… They’re going to hear my music Even though we live in the suburbs. The sheer volume capabilities from the speaker are amazing. Like a classic stereo system, you can change the treble and base with knobs on the unit. You can also change the volume manually, if you are using Bluetooth to your phone, you can also adjust it there. The design is sleek and classic, and easily fits into any decor. I personally love that since it connects to Alexa, or Google Home, the device stays on, and you can just speak what you want. This allows me to put it up high and not have to worry about reaching the controls. If you so, choose, you can connect it to other devices within the same family so you can have music throughout your home with one system. The built-in Wi-Fi is key and really just makes this the best of the best.

1 stop is the right amount for me.

1/2 the price of local shops.
