Interfacing Low-Output Guitar Effects Processor Directly to Power Amplifier
Hello All,
I have a Boss GT-6 Guitar Processor that I would like to run directly into a power amp. From what I've been told by an informed source, the output of the GT-6 is not strong enough to drive a power amplifier expecting a line level signal to full power. Here are the specs of the GT-6: Nominal Input Level INPUT: -10 dBu, RETURN: -10 dBu Input Impedance INPUT: 1 Mohms, RETURN: 220 kohms Nominal Output Level OUTPUT: 0 dBu, SEND: -10dBu Output Impedance OUTPUT: 2 kohms, SEND: 2 kohms The power amplifier in question has the following specs: Input Sensitivity @ 8 ohms: 1.0Vrms Input Sensitivity @ 4 ohms: 0.9Vrms Input Impedance: 6 k ohms unbalanced, 12 k ohms balanced Gain: 32 dB Based on this, is it correct to assume that the GT-6 will not be able to drive the amplifier to full power? If yes, what do I need to do to correct this? Would a DI box like a LR Baggs Para-Acoustic DI do the trick? Please advise.
