Using OAMP as an alternate preamp
Просмотров 1,8 тыс.3 года назад
If your amp has an effects loop, you can try this setup! Use OAMP as an alternate preamp to the built-in one on your amp. You can switch between them for channel-switching type effects!
What is OAMP?

A video describing OAMP and why I built it. OAMP is an output driver, a clean-gain-maker and a high-headroom tone shaper for the end of your pedal chain.
What does EUNA sound like?

No-talking, just listening to EUNA compared with guitar straight into amp with short cable, true-bypass pedalboard and more.
What Is EUNA?
Просмотров 15 тыс.3 года назад
A bit of backstory about what EUNA is, and why EUNA is with designer and builder Jesse Honig. . . . EUNA is the Elite UNity Amplifier from 29 Pedals. It replaces a conventional input buffer on your pedalboard, gets itself out of the way of your fuzz and generally tidies up after itself.
Dang thanks for this! I want to hear more Jesse tips.
Thankyou So Muchh for the TIPS. I applied it and blown away how simple adjustments can give huge impact to my vocal recording. I love how my vocal chain getting simpler and simpler. Thankyou Jesse!
"The Sound Does Not Come Out Of The Hole" is the best possible recording advice you could give anyone
Thank you for this quick rundown! Super helpful. Except for the part where you said the gear won't necessarily make me better. I know it's true, but how dare you say it out loud. 😂
Solid advice! There is a great article Mercinary Audio did years ago about making a record just using SM57s on everything. Use what you have 💪
Awesome! Thank you!
🔥🔥🔥
I am playing Country. Johnny Cash style and a little bit of Duane Eddy and Hank Marvin. I don't use any pedals. I have two Harley Bentons (a Strat and a Tele) which I play through a Harley Benton Tube 15. Great gear in spite of the low price. Will these two pedals you are selling be good for me? I do a bit of chicken pickin, which I will probably dig deeper into later. For that I might need some compressor pedals and God know what else pedals. But other than that I don't see myself with a big pedal board. I am mainly an acoustic guitar player.
It's always so hard to say, I don't think there's any piece of gear that you absolutely need for any genre of music. I try to make high quality tools that support the fundamental tone of your guitar and amp, and the strong bright cleans of a chickin' pickin' style could be a really good match. We have a lot of great local dealers around the world, I hope you get to try the pedals in person! Let me know if you do.
@@29Pedals I bought the electric guitars and amp about a year ago. All I have been doing is so far is to work on my skills and the fundamental tones of the two guitars and amp. I will be doing that for the next year too. After that I will begin to dive into pedals. I play a lot of Hank Marvin, but I am not a fan of all the effects he is using. I prefer Mark Knopfler sound and all the twang I can get. I think your pedals are the only ones I have found which seem to be made just to enhance the fundamentals. So I don't see any reason not to buy them now. I don't have access to a shop where I can test them. Which pedal of yours should I buy first?
If you could only get one. Would you get the the one in front if pedals. Or at end ? Thanks
I would try EUNA first, in most circumstances, but some rigs just use OAMP at the end and very happy. Hit me up if you have questions about your rig specifically!
I just bought your Euna/Oamp combo and now I’m gonna purchase your JFET and FLWR tomorrow hopefully. Very quality pedals, if only you could make an envelope filter or something that that mimic’d West Co. Pedals Grease Juicer!
Thank you so much!
I just hope one of those Cards is a FUZZ pedal!
It is
Can you share the template?
You can zoom in to the picture on the website and make your own if you want! It's easy.
Does running this through a tonex and the rest of my pedals make any difference? I am trying to setup a tonex board just for recording and was looking at this. Any suggestions welcome.
It's hard to say - I haven't worked with the Tonex but a bunch of players use EUNA in front of other modelers with great results.
I dont really operate on that side of my brain, but I feel where you are coming from and interested in learning more
I love the unique design and tones out of the FLWR! Killer!
Super cool piece of gear! I really respect the purpose and attention behind a lot of the decisions. One question - From a multi-instrumentalist point of view, how does the EUNA function when seeing input signals other than passive guitar pickups? Say active bass pickups, piezo pickups, microphones, reamped signal from an audio interface, etc?
Hello! EUNA has very high headroom, so it can handle all those signals happily. Piezos are especially happy. Active basses, mics and reamped signals are all fine but they don't usually require the kind of impedance conversion EUNA does. The filters will still be helpful and good sounding though, and it's a great sounding line amp.
Flwr sound amazing in all the video reviews I’ve saw. Is it based on JFET transistors, maybe CMOS?
Compelling information, my friend.
Thanks!
I need to try this on my Heritage Super 8. I would guess that Neve clones that have off in the center are the ones that have the two amplifiers.
That's generally correct, yes!
@@29Pedals Is there much of a difference between adding a pad to your input to hit a preamp harder, vs hitting it harder on the front end without a pad but moving the fader/output trim down? In theory
@@bassedthechannel Well, if I understand you correctly, you still need to know where in the preamp the pad is to get the full answer. The channel fader would usually be the last place to reduce the level before tape, so trimming a lot there and adding gain (or simply not padding) would most likely result in the most distortion of the preamp and channel strip. Whether the distortion is pleasing or not may depend on the preamp/channel. I think the main point of the tip originally was to allow you to switch in the second gain card, which sounds great but is not necessarily hitting anything harder. A variable gain mic pre like a chip preamp in a small modern mixer or interface will probably care the least. Padding with an outboard pad and turning up the gain will make little difference except creating noise, unless it's a 1073 style pre or something else that actually switches in another card.
I ve hear. Nothing but great things about pedals. But if I could only get 1. The one before board. Or one after. Which one do u recommend ???
EUNA
Thanks
mad respect for modularity. i have machinations for a module pedal series design, such a fun design challenge.
Makes my bass sound sooo insanely good!!!
It sounds great for guitar, absolutely, but how does it work for bass in your opinion? I'm looking for a sound I have in my head that I haven't heard for bass in any overdrive / distortion / fuzz: it's kind of what a blues breaker or a booster pedal does to guitar at low gain, and what a hard gated fuzz does to high gain. For low gain I haven't found anything that convinces me for bass, and for high gain I play a triangle muff into an obd-3 with balance and gain at max, both eqd to taste, which is quite harsh and gates it a bit, but it's still not "it". Would flwr work? Sorry for the long message haha 😅 and thanks in advance!
It's definitely a personal choice whether it works for you on bass, but I definitely make sure to pass as much low-end as works with the circuit and always test stuff with bass as well.
@@29Pedals thank you!
Mine arrived today. Wow! Are you Gandalf or something?
Ha! Thanks, I wish!
@@29Pedals Honestly.. what a thing! I now live in South Africa and had to wait for family to visit from the UK before I could physically get hold of it. (Import duties here nearly double the price on anything "luxury". I wish customs realised the Euna is a bloody necessity! I play through a Revv Generator 120 Mk 3. Honestly, it's astonishing. I really thought I had a great sound before, but now, it's like I was listening from underwater in comparison. It's crazy! Phenomenal tool. Just phenomenal.
By far my favorite effects company. I love every pedal you have created and will have them on every pedalboard
Thank you so much! That made my day!!
HAHA that's a little dismissive! That piece of wire is in everything! :P
Fair critique! 😂
Thank you for building this pedal. I have a habit of running way to many pedals at once and you fixed the issues I was running into with other buffers
Thanks so much!
I don't know what you're talking about...yet. But I sure dig the way you say it.
I really enjoyed this.
Thanks Scott!
Nice format! Ready to hear it!
Well said. Just try stuff!
Excited to try this. Loved the Anderson's demo.
That Radio Flyer/Triumph analogy is DEAD ON. I like hearing you talk, buddy! JFET rules. Also, I wanna pet your dog
First, this is great info, love how you broke down the design process. Second, how you kept the narrative coherent with so many cuts? It should be studied by cinema buffs for centuries.
Beautifully said Jesse!
Can you run the OAMP directly into the input jack (preamp in) of a rackmount power amp?
Yes!
Solid logic. Sound thinking.
I really want a FLWR, but the change out diode thing is both wildly impressive but somewhat scary to somebody who just plays and records. I have no desire to be routing around inside your creations. Does the pedal come stock, with the diodes securely inside, so I don’t need to mess around with that?
Totally! It's a sub-module on a socket, so you can get a blank board and experiment without having to modify the original set. It comes with the stock module installed.
@@29Pedals Wonderful! Thanks for your reply, and for making fantastic things.
Hey Jesse, would Euna have these same effects with amp modeling at the end of a pedalboard? My example is a UA Dream 65 going either straight into interface or into a Line6 power cab. My other setup is a Two Notes le clean into delay/verb pedals and those into a Two Notes Cab M with power amp/IR modeling.
It will be similar, yes, because the loss is occurring in the analog domain before the simulators.
LOL check out all the Behringer pedals!!! Is that why you need an EUNA? 🙂
What a weird comment - Yes, there are two Behringer pedals in there, out of a quick count of 45 total. I don't hate on stuff simply for being inexpensive or mass produced. Their Vibrato is a good sounding circuit, the headroom isn't any worse than your typical 9V pedal. I didn't love the reverb, but to each their own. As a designer, I sometimes keep things around for reference so I know what other players are used to hearing. How would I know I had succeeded in the EUNA design without a conventional buffer as a reference? And yeah, having a really well-built input driver like EUNA can definitely make inexpensive pedals sound better, as the load they present to the guitar tends to vary wildly over the frequency range and the impedance is often too low, or lower than advertised. EUNA can help out with both of those issues and present a much more stable, high-impedance load that helps the guitar sound more like itself. There's some nuanced criticisms to be made about mass-produced gear, but I am going to stop short of just "LOL"ing an entire brand that supplies lots of musicians with affordable options. I think there's room in the world for all types of gear, just like we have all different types of musicians.
What are thooooooseeeeee
It's spelled ACHIEVED 😊
Just ordered. Sounds fab fab.
Excellent demo, Jesse. Can we talk about that Cylon eye moving left to right on your Fender amp in the background, though? I've heard "they have a plan"...
Would be really cool to see this type of functionality in a single package, like a mashup with the OBN Signal Blender but with your drivers on the input/output sides of the pedal.
If I run a dry chain to the front of my amp and wet to the effects loop where would you put the Euna and OAMP?
I would still run EUNA out in front. OAMP could be before the amp's preamp, or at the end of the effects loop to drive the power amp. That depends on the amp, how much you want to drive the pedals in the loop, and the sound you're going for. OAMP at the end of the effects loop driving back in to the power amp is a great choice. You can read more on the FAQ on my site!
Hey! That’s a Debbie Bean on the wall behind you!
The stained glass triangle is actually by Marya Alford!
Cool gear. Would be awesome to see a tour of your favorite stuff à la Show Us Your Junk.
The modular diode card is super clever. Well done sir. 👏
Based on the demos, I think this little thing sounds REALLY GOOD! Well done!!! Dare I say it sounds kinda Ratish?
