Exciter (effect) - Uses

Uses

• Unlike traditional equalizer devices, exciters are less likely to add noise and hiss, which make them useful in enhancing dull recordings, especially analog reel-to-reel tape recordings that have lost their "sparkle" due to repeated overdubs.
• Exciters are also used for restoring old recordings by adding lost spectral content
• Exciters are increasingly implemented as an audio enhancement for hardware and software media players
• Exciters are also sold in a "stompbox" pedal format, in units designed for use with an electric guitar, electric bass, or electronic keyboards.
