MOTM Pre-amp

1999-09-07 by Paul Schreiber

Originally, I was going to do a 1U wide, triple preamp. This would have:

1 "guitar" level input
2 "synth/line" level inputs

3 volume pots

The guitar input has high gain (like 150) and the line levels are lower
(like 15). The
point of both is to bring external levels up to 10V pk-pk.

But several have asked for *DISTORTION!* Oh, the shame of my audiophile DC
servo amps
with cascode FET stages and 0.005% THD. Sob!

So, what's the feeling of a dual preamp (2 clean channels) with a seperate
patchable *DISTORTION*
unit?

Along this line: there are several worderful sites with full schematics of
OLD guitar pedals. What's
your fave pedal, pre 1990? (no BOSS crap).

Lastly : out of pocket Thursday PM til Sun PM. Off to see Doug Curtis. (hee
hee).
