Live Amplifier Cable Plug-In

How it's made

Source

an audio jack entering a live amplifier briefly bridges tip and sleeve. Six uneven contact bursts use 0.6-1 ms attacks and 4-14 ms filtered noise decays; the final contact seats the plug.

Hum

the floating input admits 50/60 Hz pickup with weaker second, third, fifth and seventh harmonics. An irregular amplitude envelope opens during insertion, then closes over 16 ms as the sleeve grounds.

Body

contact voltage steps excite the loudspeaker's damped 64-100 Hz response and a weaker cone mode at 2.1 times that frequency, with 90-155 ms envelope durations; filtered noise adds cabinet movement.

Spectrum

the contacts pass 240 Hz to 2.4-5.8 kHz; the speaker rolls the whole mix off progressively after seating. Gentle preamp saturation binds hum and crackle without hard clipping or bright fizz.

Envelope

immediate small contact, 60-180 ms insertion, stronger seating thump, then dry decay. A final 290-320 ms fade leaves at least 90 ms of silence inside the 420 ms render ceiling.

Variation

seeded streams vary contact time, strength, noise, and speaker tuning by 2 percent. Presets cover a quick clean connection, a loose crackling jack, a bass cabinet, and a small bright amp.
