Guitar Input for Multi-Effects Unit
Preamp based on Ibanez TS9
In September 2010 we published a digital multi-effects unit. This circuit can only be used with line level signals, such as those used by keyboards and the effects loops of mixing panels. To make that circuit suitable for use with electric guitar signal levels we now present a simple but effective amplifier circuit.
