Amplifiers
An amplifier, electronic amplifier or (informally) amp is an electronic device that can increase the magnitude of a signal (a time-varying voltage or current). It may increase the power significantly, or its main effect may be to boost the voltage or current (power, voltage or current amplifier). It is a two-port electronic circuit that uses electric power from a power supply to increase the amplitude of a signal applied to its input terminals, producing a greater amplitude signal at its output. The ratio of output to input voltage, current, or power is termed gain (voltage, current, or power gain). An amplifier, by definition has gain greater than unity (if the gain is less than unity, the device is an attenuator). An amplifier can either be a separate piece of equipment or an electrical circuit contained within another device. Amplification is fundamental to modern electronics, and amplifiers are widely used in almost all electronic equipment. Amplifiers can be categoriz ...

You're starving, hallucinating, running into strange creatures. You're being hunted. It's about that whole struggle." Guitarist Bill Kelliher considers this album to represent the earth element. At the time, bassist Troy Sanders called it "sonically the best album we have done." The band's emphasis on clean, melodic vocals instead of the ha ...

The album was released on October 27, 2009 through Southern Lord Records and was the band's first for the label after leaving Hydra Head Records earlier in 2009. A music video for "Final Breath" released on December 22, 2009, directed by Matt Santoro. Background and composition In late 2008, Pelican recognized a decline in group morale and in concert attendance, so the band considered slowing touring. However, they were already signed up for a tour in mid-2009 prior to the recording of ''What We All Come to Need'', leading to some frustration in the members who wanted to not burn out. The album was recorded in three weeks during the summer of 2009 with a generous recording budget from Southern Lord Records, the group's new label after leaving Hydra Head Records. The inspiration of a new setting and label, though, wasn't enough to offset the band's fatigue. According to guitarist T ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
