Troubleshooting: The Sound of Silence
Finished with your new preamp install, plugged in, and all you have is the sound of silence? No worries! This is almost always due to a missed or incorrect connection in the circuit. In this video, I’ll walk you through a series of 5 tests that will identify where the problem with the signal is. You can get the Troubleshooting Flowchart here: Troubleshooting Steps

Storytime: Why did QwikChord Disappear from the Internet in 2012?
QwikChord was a guitar chord diagram illustration tool that was first released as freeware in 2002 and became a retail application used worldwide by authors, teachers, students, and worship team leaders. We still receive email from clients, so we’ve decided to re-release the original QwikChord on the LHZ website. You find it here: https://lhzpreampshop.com/products/qwikchord
Throw Away The Soldering Iron!
One of the most common questions we receive is: “what do I need to do a solderless installation?” Over half of our clients install preamp upgrades with no soldering skills! Yet, there are some installation scenarios that require connecting existing wires to wires from the preamp kit. This video shows how a IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) can be used to splice wires without needing a soldering iron or special skills.
Glenn Maxey
Alongside a powerhouse lineup featuring Damon Johnson, Buck Johnson, Tony Higbee, and Jarred Pope, Glenn Maxey is once again driving the groove as Brother Cane prepares to take Magnolia Medicine on the road in 2026.
Fede Delfino
Fede Delfino is one of those performers who is far more than he appears at first glance. He’s not just a bassist; he’s also a singer, songwriter, guitarist, and producer. That means when Fede is on bass, he knows exactly where that fits in the big picture and delivers it with confidence.
