How Do I Know If I Need A Preamp on My Violin?

Музыка

One of the most common causes of bad amplified violin, viola, or cello tone is an impedance mismatch. The cure is a preamp (or buffered pedal). But how do I know if I need one?
Here's a quick demonstration of what an impedance mismatch sounds like so you'll know if you have one.

    Based on the recommendations of the electric violin shop and other videos, I went with the Fishman Aura spectrum preamp and it sounds ridiculously amazing. I really like the sound Images that come with the software and when paired with the THR30ii it’s a really great set up.

    You have one of those absolutely delectable looking "skull" EVs that I remember seeing online awhile back. It is in the lower right of the screen hanging on your 'wall of fame'. I was so taken with that thing when I ran across it (can't remember precisely when, last 5 years, or more...) I saved that website as an open window for months (then the PC doubtless crashed and that ended that fantasy. Lol). I have never had endless money. If I did, perhaps I would have a huge collection of the coolest electric fiddles on the wall of my store also. 😆

    Hey Matt! You mentioned your helix here… how did you get to those settings in there? And are they the same settings you can get in a pod go?

    They’re on the input block on the Helix. No idea if the PodGo offers the same setting. I just leave mine on AUTO.

    You don't necessarily need a preamp. It all depends on what you're plugging into.
