Amp Link
Long Line solution for guitar and bass players on stage or in the studio.

Amp Link was designed to solve the problem of a guitar or bass player who needs to be some distance from the amplifier. Conventional instrument cables (even the expensive ones) have significant high frequency loss and noise sensitivity (both RF and hum) that increases dramatically with distance. These effects can be felt with cables as short as 10 feet. By using Amp Link with a line level direct box (example: Pedal Pusher), and a standard mic cable, you can achieve a low loss, low noise connection up to several hundred feet. On stage, this means being able to independently place both the amp and the player. In the studio this means the player can be in the control room connected to the amp through standard studio tie lines. Additionally, Amp Link can serve as a re-amp device, allowing easy connection from the console/DAW to an amplifier or efx pedal.

Overview
- Line level input from direct box or console.
- Level and impedance matched output to amplifier.
- Selectable output levels for amplifier low or high gain inputs.
- Additional high frequency variable equalizer in the high gain position to simulate (or negate) the effect of guitar cable.
- All passive design.
- Isolated input and output ground prevents ground loops.
- High quality Crimson Audio transformer with mu-metal shielding for best performance.
