I have more than 25 years of experience in designing and building custom audio systems to some of the most demanding artists in the music industry.
The past decades have been a constant technological evolution. Barriers are moved every day that would have seemed like total science fiction only a few years ago – and still guitar players are struggling with the same basic issues they have been dealing with the past 30-40 years. It almost seems as if time has been on hold in this regard.
We have made it our quest to rectify these problems, and bring the modern guitar systems – whether it’s a pedal board or rack systems – to a new level. No more hum, noise, signal loss, cross-loading issues, instability etc.
Our philosophy is to maintain the guitar-direct-into-amp sound, while not introducing any noise through-out the entire system. We have spent many years developing and refining this concept.
These two issues should be addressed throughout the entire system. Often we will use custom-built interfaces or stand-alone boxes to solve these issues, but sometimes we have to modify or re-design the original unit in order to achieve the best possible result.
Stages are very harsh environments. There are issues you need to deal with, which are not present in your rehearsal room or in your private home.
Radio signals, light dimmers and noisy mains are some of the most severe issues.
We have developed a concept that allows us to suppress ground noise with up to 120dB in any system we design and build, and at the same time making the system virtually immune to airborne noise and magnetic field sources.
Robustness and durability is also a key factor for any touring musician. Your system should be able to withstand the vigour of touring. This is also dealt with when we design a system.
This is of course not a comprehensive description of what we do, but it should give you a basic idea of our approach..
