What is the difference between high and low input on guitar amp?
The "Hi" input attenuates the input signal, usually by between 10-15dB (about half to a third the original volume). The "Low" input will not do this. Different guitars and basses produce widely varying signal levels.
What does high and low input mean on an amp?
The high and low inputs are part of the amp's design which allows you to use either active pickups or passive. While either input will work, high is for passive, and the low input is for active.
Why do guitar amps have 2 inputs?
The #2 input is useful if you like to use pedals instead of your amp for gain/od. Also useful if you want a somewhat lower and presumably quieter signal through the preamp stages. What's even more interesting than this though is Fender wired the inputs in such a way that if BOTH are used the attenuation is bypassed.
What is high gain input?
High Gain Inputs are meant for lower output pickups and Low Gain Inputs are mean't for higher output pickups, pretty much so they can get a similar sound.
