Often I’m asked how one can maintain a strong, consistent guitar signal through a pedal board, or rack system. And, truthfully, for years pro’s have been driving signal with pedals called “line drivers.” Most noticeably, these pedals provide a consistent signal level, and some go so far as give you the ability to increase or decrease Db at the turn of a knob.
Custom Audio Electronics has set the standard for great guitar tone for almost 30 years, so it comes to no surprise that they’ve released several fexible and affordable tools for a guitarist to maintain great signal. Cheif amoung these is the CAE/MXR Line Drvier and Booster. With the compressor and the Line driver together, you can maintain great signal and avoid that “compressor on= Big sound vs. compressor off =where did my guitar go in the mix” problem everyone seems to have.
So, for under $200 (new) you can make sure in any circumstances, you can have a killer, loud tone and a great compressor.
