GUITAR AMPLIFIER

摘要

A system and method for a guitar amplifier that overcomes the disadvantages of known amplified speaker enclosures and circuits while providing more effective volume control. A venue switch selects different output ranges for the guitar amplifier. Volume control still adjusts output regardless of venue switch position. In the low-output setting for the venue switch a house or other quiet venue is accommodated with the guitar amplifier that can work in larger venues in the high-output setting.

主权项

1. A guitar amplifier for boosting a signal from an electric guitar, comprising:
an enclosure; an input for receiving the signal from the electric guitar; a plurality of vacuum tubes used to process the signal; a speaker output; a volume knob that adjusts amplitude of the signal for the speaker output; and a venue switch accessible to the user of the guitar amplifier, wherein:
the venue switch has first position and a second position,in the first position the volume knob adjusts amplitude in a first range,in the second position the volume knob adjusts amplitude in a second range different from the first range,the first range has a first maximum amplitude,the second range has a second maximum amplitude, andthe first maximum amplitude is less than half of the second maximum amplitude.
