Hex-Amp System Proposal PUBLIC

Hex-Amp System Proposal: Block Diagram

Hex-Amp System Proposal involving the use of a SubSix Hex-Pickup to obtain 6 individual string signals from a normal 6-string electric guitar, processing them for gain and tone, then sending to separate power-amplifiers. The System must have stacked speakers placed beside a normal guitar amplification setup. Included is a mixer for mixing the string signals with the normal guitar signal and an auxiliary signal (if used; e.g., from a stereo guitar output or effect), with the full-mix signal sent to a self-powered speaker placed beside the stacked Hex speakers or on the other side of the normal guitar amplifier. The total RMS wattage rating of the Hex-Amps must equal the RMS rating of the self-powered speaker which must equal the RMS rating of the normal guitar-amplifier. The purpose of such a system is to enhance and optimize the individual string sounds (attack, tonality, etc.), along with increasing the dynamic range of the composite live sound of the guitar. Circuits are under headings "Hex-Preamp" and "Hex-Amp".
