Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
==== Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) ====
A measure of the audibility of the signal compared to the audibility of noise. The higher the ratio, the "cleaner" and more "high fidelity" the sound.
 
==== Signal Chain ====
A signal chain is simply the ordered list of each device that affects the signal from its point of origin (the guitarist/guitar) until it is turned into sound waves. Typically displayed as text with arrows between each piece of the chain, showing the direction of the signal as it is transformed. For example:
* Ibanez guitar with Dimarzio Pickups > Ibanez Tube Screamer stomp box > MXR Flanger > Marshall JCM-800 amplifier > Marshall 1968 4x12 cab with Celestion T-75 speakers
