Getting MORE from your guitar amplifier with TheGigRig UnderLiner

There's no getting away from it, a great sounding guitar amplifier is a massive component in achieving great tone. Maybe even the most important component. Driving these great sounding amps with pedals has resulted some of the most iconic and inspirational guitar sounds of all-time.
But what about when you just want your amp sound to be louder? One of the challenges with boosting into the front of an amp that some pre amp gain dialled in is that even with a clean boost, the amp ends of being more distorted. Sometimes that's awesome, sometimes it's just not what you want.
Say hello the TheGigRig UnderLiner
UnderLiner sits in your amps' effects loop and gives you 2 extra master volume controls that you can set and switch instantly to get exactly the level without changing the relationship between the guitar and the preamp section of the amp. Set the 2 attenuation levels for rhythm parts and hit bypass for you solos/loud bits. The UnderLiner utilises the headroom in your amp to get you louder which we think is a fantastic way to do it.
The UnderLiner also includes a special effects loop circuit to help integrate effects into the amps fx loop ensuring no tone suck from long cable runs.
The UnderLiner is designed to sit on top of your amp using short cables to connect to your amps effects loop. The Under FS Footswitch sits on your pedalboard and not only controls the UnderLiner, but powers it as well. UnderLiner can also be switched using MIDI.

All the best

    Great bit of kit Dan - got some really nice features which, as you say, gives a real edge over using standard EQ pedals in the loop (which I have been doing for years!). Another great use for this is to get a nice clean tone from a driven amp if there's no separate clean channel. Drop your front end input gain right down (best done with a pedal) then use the bypass mode to compensate for the loss of volume as the amp cleans up. Nice stuff!

My amps are almost always set up for their Live sounds, but that doesn't always translate to a manageable At-Home volume level....When I lower the volume for At-Home, I find I have to also adjust the eq on the amp and my pedals because the amp is no longer working at the same level it was Live....this would totally solve that issue!!

    THEGIGRIG, try to make an Underliner that will do BOOST the Speaker signal and Attenuate the Speaker level with a foot switch plus have an effects loops like a lineout box. It would be nice to boost the Speaker level signal for guitar solos boosting the signal going to the speakers and able to put guitar effects between the amplifiers speaker output jack to the speaker which would need to convert speaker signal into either line level or for instrument level. Some rack mount gear in the 70's has options for instrumental level or line level at different -dB levels.

    So if I'm getting this correctly, it's like having 2 master volumes for your amp, whether you have an FX loop or not ? I use 2 amps in my configuration (not simultaneously), 1 has FX loop for rehearsal or small venues (Orange OR15), the other is an old Bassman blackface for "big" stages. I have a pachbay that lets me route the signal if there's an FX loop or not. So the Underliner could possibly replace this patchbay ?

  • @TheGigRigDaniel

I think of using it after my gain stages -> into the underliner input-> grom underliner out into the lehle split -> into dry amp and the second signal into the wet effects and then into the wet amp? Or do i need 2 underliners, one for each amp?
