Arky Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 My roomate, a golf pro, won an electric guitar. I have a Sonic Super T amp from Dean & a 5 strand bundle of interconnects from bluejean but they are too small for the guitar hole. 1. Can this amp be used? 2. Is there an adaptor that will fit the cable hole? 3. If not what do I need, heresy 2's are the speakers. btw, it's a Fender Strato..something if that matters.

Daddy Dee Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 That's an interesting project. The guitar jack should be a quarter inch phono. You could use a Y adapter. Quarter inch phono to (2) RCA's. That will get signal to each channel of the Super T amp. It will be interesting to see what you get with that setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke Spinner Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 the Super T is looking for a Line Level signal ..1>2 v the guitar provides a 500mV signal .. you need a Preamp ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arky Posted May 27, 2008 Author Share Posted May 27, 2008 Is this right, Dee's adaptor from guitar to T-amp & T-amp to a preamp. Would a Marantz 2245 work? I think this was the Mexico made version & you're right about the lessons. Thanks for the help guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBryan Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Duke's right... the T-amp was not intended to be used to amplify pickups and it'll distort at low volume and generally sound terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invidiosulus Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 The Y adapter pictured above also is not likely to fit in the recessed jack cup found on most strats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Is this right, Dee's adaptor from guitar to T-amp & T-amp to a preamp. Would a Marantz 2245 work? The pre-amp would go before the T-amps. It brings the signal voltage up to a level the amps can work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauln Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 What color is it? Here's the one I play, got it 20 years ago. The sound through a home music system will sound terrible. Electric guitars are not meant to be played through a hifi flat response stages. Guitar amps are designed differently. He can get one for less than $200 that will serve fine until he learns to play.

Arky Posted May 27, 2008 Author Share Posted May 27, 2008 It looks like that to me except it is dark blue, really pretty. I was trying to help him out with some extra things I have on hand but sounds like it won't work. I knew you guys would know the correct answers. Would guitar center be a good source?
