How much gain is need ?

Tobruk · 12th February 2009, 05:27 PM

I think a gain of 20 is adequate for a guitar magnetic pickup..

I don"t know about a gain of 20 ...that might be fine for playing Jazz but not for anything heavey...The active electronics in my guitar have more gain than that and my guitar pre-amp has a gain of over 10,000x.....

I recently built this curcuit...

It is a Tube/Solid state hybrid guitar pre, sounds good and is very modable....

Cheers
