Accurate live amplification of the curative acoustic guitar may well be the audio equivalent of the search for the Holy Grail. Few if any serious guitarists seem completely satisfied with any of the acquirable solutions. This being said, there are some very effective ways of producing a convincingly realistic amplified curative acoustic guitar sound. They vary greatly both in terms of the amplified equipment required and in terms of expense. The best we crapper do here is provide a brief introduction to this complicated problem. Item 15.8 lists sources where you crapper find more complete information.

It's multipurpose to distinguish threesome parts of the amplification problem: converting the guitars good into an electrical communication (Transducers); conditioning this communication so that it is appropriate for acoustic guitar amplifiers (Preamps); and finally, amplifying the communication (Power Amps). We treat these aspects in removed articles below, and in addition we discuss Effects that crapper be used to alter or enhance the amplified guitar sound. Some commercially acquirable devices perform individual of these functions at once, but it remains multipurpose to distinguish them in a generalized discussion. We also discuss some accessories that vary from being necessary (cables!) to merely multipurpose (tuners) for the "plugged-in" curative guitarist. Then we mention some of the options acquirable for those who want to buy a acoustic guitar designed by the builder to be "plugged-in." Finally, we describe the choices of various well-known performing acoustic guitar professionals.
