Artie	RE: Boss volume pedals You are correct that the 1 meg input resistor equates to a 1 meg input impedance, which is "high-impedance. Basically, the 50H would be used when you plan to plug into an amps front panel input jack. (Hi-Z) The 50L would be used when you intend to use it in an effects loop, or into a mixing board, where the effective input impedance will be closer to 10k-20k. As a side note: when you hear people, in audio, refer to "low-impedance", it generally refers to a microphone input, which would be in the 150-600 ohm range. These will generally be an XLR type connector. (3-prong)
