[Richie Burnett]

Because there's more non-linearity in your guitar's fuzzbox pedals!?  ;-))

-Richie,

Interesting but I've always found Doug Self's articles to be a bit "woo 
audiophile".

The signal chain from my guitar through the amp to the mike and its preamp 
and then the mixer, then the recorder, then the mastering recorder, then the 
player, the amp the player is connected to and finally the speaker has got 
hundreds of electrolytics in it.

Why can't I hear this non-linearity, if there's so much of it?
