MM	Re: Schematics Guys, thanks for your contributions of schematic dl websites. Paul, so you suggest that I should place this kind of limiter circuit in the opamp neg. feedback? (probably adapting R values to the new environment(?)) But then, how does it differ from a distortion kind of thing? And one more thing bothers me: We all know those Hi Z and Lo Z inputs on the guitar amps. But, when I see those values of resistors - they are the same on both inputs, i.e. lead to the same combination of R's, so I figured that it must be the same impedance on both inputs?? How is that possible? Somewhere I have read that Hi Z is 1M (that one I understand) and Lo Z is around 140K (and this I do not understand: how come its 140K??) Regards, Marko M.
