An amplifier, electronic amplifier or (informally) amp is an electronic device that can increase the power of a signal.
It does this by taking energy from a power supply and controlling the output to match the input signal shape but with a larger amplitude. In this sense, an amplifier modulates the output of the power supply to make the output signal stronger than the input signal. An amplifier is effectively the opposite of an attenuator: while an amplifier provides gain, an attenuator provides loss.
An amplifier can either be a separate piece of equipment or an electrical circuit within another device. The ability to amplify is fundamental to modern electronics, and amplifiers are widely used in almost all electronic equipment. The types of amplifiers can be categorized in different ways. One is by the frequency of the electronic signal being amplified; audio amplifiers amplify signals in the audio (sound) range of less than 20 kHz, RF amplifiers amplify frequencies in the radio frequency range between 20 kHz and 300 GHz. Another is which quantity, voltage or current is being amplified; amplifiers can be divided into voltage amplifiers, current amplifiers, transconductance amplifiers, and transresistance amplifiers. A further distinction is whether the output is a linear or nonlinear representation of the input. Amplifiers can also be categorized by their physical placement in the signal chain.
An insider is a member of any group of people of limited number and generally restricted access. The term is used in the context of secret, privileged, hidden or otherwise esoteric information or knowledge: an insider is a "member of the gang" hence knows things outsiders don't, including insider jargon.
In our complicated and information-rich world, the concept of insider knowledge is popular and pervasive, as a source of direct and useful guidance. In a given situation, an insider is contrasted with an outside expert: the expert can provide an in-depth theoretical analysis that should lead to a practical opinion, while an insider has firsthand, material knowledge. Insider information may be thought of as more accurate and valuable than expert opinion.
There are many popular cultural roles ascribed to the insider.
In criminal and social justice, whistle-blowing and leaks are seen as (often heroic) efforts of individual insiders to right wrongs by making secret information public, usually in David and Goliath situations (e.g. by revealing transgressions of governments, large corporations or other powerful organizations). When whistle-blowers are cultivated by outside forces, they are known as informants and informers.

The certainty that I am me, That there is everything that I can see; That what I percieve is all it appears, And the belief that I am even here. It's all in my mind. Well it's all in my mind. Into an ocean I am cast, between the past, And all things that will come to be. If every choice I make is my own, inside the unknown, Then how can there be destiny? Well... It's all in my mind. Well it's all in my mind. And it's all inside. This is all in my mind. In every moment I dismiss, And every metamorphosis. That from a bud the flowers bloom, A butterfly from each cocoon. It's all inside. Well it's all in your mind. Then it's all inside. This is all in your mind. Well it's all inside. Well it's all in your mind. Well it's all inside. This is all in your mind.
This is the song R.I.P. performed by the band Amplifier. I happened to stumble upon their latest Album, Insider from 2006. It's a great song, a great band so i had to get it out here. I hope they come around and play some gigs in Germany, when touring in Autumn 2010...t.b.a. http://www.amplifiertheband.com/live_forthcoming.php http://www.myspace.com/amplifiertheband
Amplifier's song "Procedures" set to a wedding video. This video is a personal project of mine. I wanted to produce a fast paced music video and so I chose the song "Procedures" from Amplifier. The song features on Amplifier's incredible 2006 album "Insider". Thanks go to Amplifier for allowing me to use their song for this video. You can check out the band's youtube profile here: http://www.youtube.com/user/amplifiertheband They also have a website: http://www.amplifiertheband.com
Amplifier - Elysian Gold, from their 2006 full-length, Insider. Support artists by buying their records!! :D Lyrics: What was held by these weary hands that have been harvesting Where brave souls grew tall in endless fields of gold that whispered in the breeze Hallowed were thy birds in trees We marvelled at the skies With wonder in our eyes and summer's butterflies Enchanted in each gilded August Embraced where swallows chased the sun They wove a complex fugue where wild flowers bloomed only in your name Where no two days were quite the same But if you close your eyes the past is never lost Well I would hold your hand when you are vulnerable and alone And wherever dangers roam, I would keep you safe from harm Through those valleys of shadows beyond lagoons of pink flamingoes Beyond ra...
If you've been hoping for a world in which you can wave a magic wand and instantly control all the devices and appliances in your home, then Polish start-up Oort's invention might be the closest thing you get to it. Oort is the world's first home automation system, allowing you to remotely control all the devices in your home using either a smartphone app or smart wearable wristband. "You can control your home by pressing a button from your smartphone or wristband. You can set many different actions, such as, when I receive a Facebook message, my lamp will blink, or when someone opens the door, a push message is sent to my smartphone," Oort CEO Radek Tadajewski tells IBTimes UK. "You could even equip your kid with a wristband so that you are notified when they arrive home from school or...

INSIDE VIEW OF MY 3CPX1500A7 AMPLIFIER
An overview of what is actually happening inside of an amplifier.
Should Marshall have made this Chupacabra tube amplifier for guitar? Marshall will forever be remembered for their tones and none more than the Plexi and early amps. So how does this fire breathing hand wired monster rate? and is it just a one trick pony? Find out with this inside and out full review. If you ever wanted to see inside a great hand wired amp for guitar then you should really be looking at this review, I show you the inside, the outside the whole thing and at the end even play a few examples of the tones. Don't miss watching this review as the amp really is something a bit special. And if you get to the features section (at the back of the amp) I'm sure you will be rolling around at the name they gave to one particular adjuster... I won't spoil it.. but trust me you will la...
Full Inside and Out review of the BluGuitar Amp1... with playing at the end first (32:55) by myself then Thomas Blug (36:42) Live. My sound was specifically setup like a driven JTM45 so it sounds completely different than what I might usually achieve with my usual amps. This rather unique floor Amp1 uses a nano tube inside... like a mini tube so you can get some pretty cool sounds from it. Priced well with loads of features. Find out if its really any good? With three distinct 'channels' plus a boost button and reverb this 'amp' has a lot to offer and a lot to deliver on. The BluGuitar Amp1 is well made and you can 'tune' or customise those channels to your exact tones with adjusters on the side of the unit. Check it out! Thanks to Thomas Blug for showing off exactly what the BluGuitar ...
Tony Iommi needs no introduction. Here is Tony Iommi's amplifier under review. I show the inside and out of this amp, exactly what's great about it (lots) and what is not. Get a complete rundown of Tony's amp and hear those EXACT tones at the end of the video when the amp is played (War Pigs!). Compare the tone yourself. This is a review like no other of Tony Iommi's amp on YouTube... see exactly what makes this amp tick and what the results are of Tony Iommi himself spending two years of his life bringing his exact tones to reality in this amplifier - the TI-100. There's no doubt about what this amp will sound like... and if you ever play one then you will realise that Tony Iommi's dream of encompassing his tones forever in an amp have been realised. With EIGHT preamp tubes you just kno...

Many guitarists just 'don't get it' about Class A Amps or even what they are. This inside and out review of the THD Univalve also tries to offer some reasons why you NEED a Class A amplifier and the differences. This is part ONE - and Part TWO being uploaded next reviews a Palmer 'Drei' (or 3 to non Germans) that is also a class A amplifier for guitar but has many hidden technical reasons why this amp is one 'hell of an amp' that you should check out. The final video in the series (Video THREE) about Class A amps will include a 'shoot out' between the THD Univalve and the Palmer Drei amplifier and also offer some other class A low cost (and maybe not so low cost) amps for consideration that you might not have thought worth checking out. If you are not a total metal head (but I still lik...

When Kemper said that they would not convert the unpowered rack preamplifier to a powered one that was a major blow to many users. I recently converted my unpowered Kemper rack to a 2 x 90w (per side) powered rack amplifier (I mistakenly said 290w per side - my apologies) and here I show you exactly how to do it. This can save a fortune of selling and buying a replacement Kemper amp just because there is no power amp inside. Amplifier from http://www.ritteramps.de This is a useful video even if you don't own a Kemper Amp - see how easy (or hard) it is to add a power amp to equipment. Please note that if you are not qualified or have no idea of how to do this conversion then don't do it. I accept no liability whatsoever if you do.

With your permission
Escaped this perdition
Each line and division
Is to define you
To confine you
A fleeting recollection
Of someone I'd forgotten
A split second impression
Of a safe place
Of a kind face
Designed Eden without a care
Come emancipation
I would take you anywhere
Gracious steps lead me up into the heavens
Of reconciliations
These mountains and chasms
These jungles and oceans
With trespass forgiven
And sunbeams that are golden
With no hate or religion
Just each other to discover
Designed Eden without a care
Come emancipation
I would take you anywhere
Arrived and vanished into air
Come disintegration
Where would you be waiting?
With my head on the pillow
As sails billow
The ground is hollow
In every gladness
In every sadness
