OT: distortion

2000-11-24 by Nathan Alan Hunsicker

anyone know of any commercial distortion units that can handle 10v p-p
levels both in and out? i have an old mxr distortion+ but i really don't
want to fry it by putting way too much signal into it. i already cooked
the preamp of my h&k guitar head, i don't want to do that again. i had
asked paul about a module with distortion and he didn't feel like
competing with all the $20 stomp-boxes out there, so that avenue is out
of the question. any help would be appreciated, thanks. -nate

Why not just attenuate the signal down to line level, the pre-amp it back up
to 10V?

wouldn't that be an open invite for tons of noise? especially coming out
of a stomp box? -nate

Given that stop boxes are inherently noisy anyhow... Sure! However, no worse than their normal behavior.
