Subject: Re: Guitar and the 700

From: "Andy Miller" <andy@...>

Being EE illiterate, why do you put the guitar into a compressor or
pre-amp first? What is a compressor? Can you put the guitar
directly into the 700?

I know all this has to do with voltage levels (I think). Is the
output of a guitar too small or too large to go directly into the
700? Your patch sounds like fun, waiting to try it when my 700 gets
built (soon), and I learn how to input my guitar into the synth.

Thanks
Andy
