Jalien21 Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 so, i was thinking about making some sort of a circuit with which i could test various coils or resistors or whatever else i can find to see how stuff changes the sound of a guitar. it'd basically just be audio-in to a 9-volt battery and... stuff to audio-out. is that a really bad idea? could i mess up my amp or guitar if i end up sending the 9-volts there instead? (i have only really basic knowledge about electronics and stuff... but this is how i like to learn things ) um. thanks, have a nice day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Why do you want to "send" 9 volts DC anywhere? Unless it's powering an active circuit, hooking up a battery to your guitar is a complete waste of time! Other than finding out about resistive heating, and the possible consequences for the small diameter wire in a pickup coil, there's nothing to learn!

Opencan Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 getting a "living" 9DC volt current into a speaker will distroy it. any direct current will. why don't you hook that circuit of yours to a guitar amp directly? the only thing that you'll be able to change by adding \ removing random components is the treble, mid and bass. unless you create an in-board effect, such as a simple drive \ distortion, but that wouldn't be so easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
