When you're considering the B3 Theremin, it's important to know that you'll need an amplifier to hear it—without one, it won't make a sound. The manufacturer notes that it comes with a standard 1/4 inch jack for connecting to an amp, which is pretty common for theremins.

It's also worth noting that having an amplifier and the right cables is crucial for getting started. Once you have those, you can really dive into tweaking the volume and pitch to fit your musical style.

Interestingly, some people have found that using effects pedals with the B3 Theremin works well, too. This means you can get creative and try out different sounds.

In short, while the B3 Theremin needs an amp to work, it opens up a lot of options for experimenting with music.

So, once your amp is ready, you can start experimenting with the Theremin's unique sound. Don't worry about needing an amp; just see it as a chance to explore new sound dimensions with its five-octave range and pitch adjustments.
