Guitar Amp makers do a Lot of things I=20 wouldn't do. Design your op-amp with different input impedances and see which you=20 like the "sound" of. I've used IC socket cut up or SIL sockets strip and plugged in resistors=20 to test rather than full breadboard. --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
