AndrewRe: Voltage reference?
o.k, sorry i did not provide enough info.  
I'm a newbe  
The shaka brada 3 has a cap in series on the  
input followed by a resistor in parallel before  
the op amp. The other end of the resistor is  
connected to 4.5v (v.r). according to the  
schematic  
 
The schematic for the dallas rangemaster has  
something similar but has an extra resistor  
to ground before the transistor, forming a  
voltage divider?  
 
The mxr distortion plus also appears to feed  
some of the dc voltage from the 9v battery into  
the input signal from the guitar before the op  
amp.  
 
I have also seen this done with diodes.(gm arts  
overdrive)  
 
What is the purpose or function of this?  
help.
