By Full Compass LiveRadial Engineering's Firefly tubeDefinition:
(slang) A vacuum tube or (valve), an electronic amplifying or rectifying element with a heating filament, in a glass or metal envelope. direct boxDefinition:
Also called DI or Direct Injection Box. A device that can send a signal from an electronic instrument directly into a mixer, thus substituting for a microphone. is a class-A fully discrete instrument front-end designed for both studio and live performance.
The Firefly begins with two inputs to allow quick changes on stage. This can be done using the front panel switch or with a standard latching remoteDefinition:
A broadcast from the field, not from the studio. A Remote Control. footswitch. The instrument signal is immediately routed to a tuner output that is always on. Following the award-winning Radial JDV, the Firefly is also equipped with Drag Control load correction. This enables the artist to adjust the load on the magnetic pickupDefinition:
1. Transducer attached to a musical instrument that converts mechanical vibrations into an electrical signal for recording or amplification 2. The part of a phonograph that translates mechanical motion from grooves into electrical signals for subsequent amplification. for a much more natural renderingDefinition:
A computer process of applying edits and modifications to video, audio waveforms, and/or images to create a finished file or product.. When bypassed, the load jumps to 4 meg-ohms enabling the Firefly to be used with piezo pickups.
The class-A circuit features a select 12AX7 tube drive with both gain and trim controls allowing the user to increase the grit and warmth as needed.
