I think I posted some of this before - but I'm still confused about "output" stages in pedals. I assume most pedals are "designed" to work with guitar inputs on amps. So the amp typically has a high impedance 1meg etc right? But if you want to plug a pedal into a "line level" (either +4dBu or -10dbU) the line level is typically lower input impedance.
So I would think a typical pedals' output stage would be "off" when driving a line input. Then there's the whole isueof either -10dBU (~0.25V) vs +4dBU (1.228V).
I've searched extensively (maybe because its a stupid question) but cannot find anything on what you would do design wise for a pedal that you want specifically to go into a LINE level input.
Yes - I know that pedal effects w/o cab and speaker effects can sound lame. Just looking for a JFET front for input to a line level. For example: - the episode boots. What would/should the output stage look like ? Probably adjust gains and R9,R10,R11?
