Phase Issues with Multiple Amp Setups

Phase Issues with Multiple Amp Setups

If your setup involves multiple amps - and as many load boxes - you may encounter phase issues with your tone.

Depending on their design, amps can either invert the signal from the guitar or keep it in phase. It depends on how many tube stages there are in the preamp section. In some instances, several amps in a multi amp setup may not be in phase. The phase switch on the Torpedo Captor and Captor X solves this issue.
