Hi Tim,

Most guitars I see are around 250mVpp for standard-wound single coil 
pickup guitars. Humbuckers are like 500mVpp-1Vpp and output from a Fuzz 
or boost pedal can get up to 2-4Vpp!

You just need to attenuate the signal from your eurorack. Send the 
output through an attentuator module before heading out to the amp. 
Another easy way might be to put 2 resistors as a voltage divider inside 
the 1/4" plug that's destined for the guitar amp.
