The Villex demo

(Ask me how I know)

Gud gawd.
Okay I realize that demoing a product is not a strength of mine, yet. There should be more finesse in this but here it goes.
Staring in position five on the guitar (neck pickup) with the VMB off, play four chords & flip a switch.
5 off then on
4 on then off
3 off then on
2 on then off
1 off then on

I watched the output on an oscilloscope and saw an increase of somewhere between 75 and 200 mV depending on the pickup and notes struck. Which means to keep G Ohm happy, we must reduce the current. Conservation maintained.
In the world of guitar pickups and their output, 200 mV is a huge increase.

When gain is employed it is not as noticeable.  However this vastly expands the guitars palette.  What was a weak sound, i.e. without gain is now a very usable option.

When I got my Alairex HALO what I noticed was that it doesn't have one "set" perfect position for me. Depending on what I want to hear I need to flip switches, or turn knobs.

What this little miracle does is it also make the guitar "unstable." Needing input from me to achieve what I want to hear.
