The amplification direction is set by the total loop phase, П• loop = П• a b + П• b c + П• a c. Interferences between paths enable nonreciprocal signal amplification. Three pumps, with the frequencies П‰ a c p в‰€ | П‰ c в€’ П‰ a |, П‰ a b p в‰€ П‰ b + П‰ a, and П‰ b c p в‰€ П‰ c + П‰ b and the respective phases П• a b, П• b c, and П• a c, allow a conversion between signals at the frequencies П‰ a s, в€’ П‰ b s and П‰ c s, closing a loop in frequency space. Owing to its flexible design and compatibility with existing superconducting fabrication techniques, the FPJA offers a straightforward route toward on-chip integration with superconducting quantum circuits such as qubits and microwave optomechanical systems.Дirectional phase-preserving amplifier. Based on a gradiometric superconducting quantum-interference device with Nb / Al в€’ Al O x / Nb Josephson junctions, the FPJA is first-order insensitive to flux noise and can be operated without magnetic shielding at low temperature.

The system exhibits quantitative agreement with the theoretical prediction. In this work, we demonstrate four modes of operation: frequency conversion (transmission of в€’ 0.5 dB, reflection of в€’ 30 dB), circulation (transmission of в€’ 0.5 dB, reflection of в€’ 30 dB, isolation of 30 dB), phase-preserving amplification (gain > 20 dB, one photon of added noise) and directional phase-preserving amplification (reflection of в€’ 10 dB, forward gain of 18 dB, reverse isolation of 8 dB, one photon of added noise). Now that I have a new band project, I'll be using these a lot! It's just easier for me to record with a similar sounding amp plugin to what the final will be and then reamp the finished direct tracks loud through my real amps just a couple of times playing with mic position and amp settings until I have what I want.We report on the design and implementation of a field-programmable Josephson amplifier (FPJA)-a compact and lossless superconducting circuit that can be programmed inВ situ by a set of microwave drives to perform reciprocal and nonreciprocal frequency conversion and amplification. The original sounds great for clean and lighter dirt stuff. The Ang is definitely better for high gain stuff, although the difference is subtle. I have the gain set between 1-2 o'clock depending on the source track and they drive the amps perfectly. I believe we are the first to do one with a +6 output, certainly the first passive box to do so thanks to an amazingly good quality custom transformer.ДЄll I can say is that after testing these, they sound phenomenal! Much better than my original REAMP that bit the dust. Just about every reamping box I've seen on the market follows this approach and has a maximum output lower than its input. This explains why, in my studio experience many years prior, I saw engineers using a 10dB guitar 'boost' pedal as a follower to the original (John Cuniberti) ReAmp box. Coming out of the DAW into a channel of your interface, it may well need makeup gain to drive some amplifiers well, despite popular belief. This means that, in practice, a captured DI in your DAW is not for the most part a '+4 signal', whether it is by technicality or not. DI tracks need headroom in the DAW not to clip on the loudest transients (which are wildly higher than the signal average), and have a shockingly low signal average outside of those peak transients. In speaking with Glenn and other professionals, I came to realize that, although a reamp is designed to transform balanced line level to unbalanced instrument level and therefore 'shouldn't need gain' (as I previously believed), the fact is that a properly captured DI track is extremely dynamic.

In general, reamp boxes are trying to turn a low impedance balanced line level signal to a high impedance unbalanced instrument level, however, as they explain: These are still used to drive a preamp/amp front end. So to let the output direct from a DAW drive a power amplifier? Ok - I'm a bit confused - I always thought re-amping devices REDUCED the signal to be able to send a line level signal back into the front end of a head unit, for example.
