Description
Without electricity there is no sound!
While trying out a large number of overdrive pedals in the previous issue, I had a vague feeling that "the sound changes depending on the power source."
There is no doubt that the sound output from effects such as overdrives, which are built with analog circuits in particular, will change depending on the quality of the electricity.
For example, do you plug in exactly 9V, or supply 9.6V, which is considered close to that of a new battery? If the voltage is different by even 0.5V, that slight difference can clearly be seen as a difference in sound.
Ah, what a geeky world! (laughs) But this is no placebo effect; anyone can feel the difference if they try it. Modern guitarists, who are expected to be sensitive to tone, have finally entered a realm where they have to take voltage into consideration (laughs).
However, once we realized this, we had no choice but to investigate it further. Therefore, this time we thoroughly investigated the "power supply."
In order to make effective use of this precious energy, which is the crystallization of humankind's greatest wisdom, we will delve deep into the relationship between electricity and effects pedals in this 50-page special feature!
