Low Guitar Output - Need Advice

[GuitarDoc]

Go ahead and give me flack for intentionally using correct terminology and having a desire to improve our community by facilitating proper communication.

In math, it makes a difference whether you use a subtraction sign or an addition sign. If you think it's right to be wrong, best wishes to you.

And just because someone else uses the incorrect terminology, it doesn't mean they are correct. I've never believed that Musician's Friend is the Webster's Dictionary of musical terminology. I could be wrong, but that would be like saying Guitar Center is the epitome of luthiers.

Actually, the "Jack" in and of itself is neither an input nor an output jack, it only depends upon how it is used. Otherwise it should only be called a "jack". In the front of your amp it is an "input jack" receiving the signal from your guitar "into" the amp. In the back of your amp the exact same device is called an "output jack" taking the signal "out" of the amp to the speaker.

If any of you truly disagree with this please let me know, but be prepared to exercise some intellect and "prove" me wrong...don't just post cute pictures or a link to something someone else says.

i am all for using the correct terms, and gently correcting people when they make a simple mistake (as long as it doesn't develop into bullying). When people come here for info, they need correct info, and the terms used matter. If people can't come here for legit info, than this is no better than the other 1000s of forums. I want to thank everyone who helps people who come here looking for solutions, and y'all gently guiding them.

Guitar vernacular is its own religion. Guitars have never had tremolo arms or phase switches either. (They're vibrato and polarity.) But the former is what they'll always be called.
