Hi
I decided on making a guitar pre-amp, with an EQ (equalizer) so i could play my guitar with a normal amp, as well as use it as a DI (Direct Input) box for my PC. I have also decided to integrate a distortion effect into the thing, and since i have the distortion and pre-amp in a single unit, i want 2 wire the thing for a clean channel, a distorton channel, and a distortion + gain boost (with the pre-amp) channel.
Now my questions are,
Where in the chain should i put the EQ?
How will each position of the EQ in the chain affect the sound?
And, for the Distortion+Gain boost, should i put the pre-amp before the distortion or after the distortion to have less problems (like oscillation, etc)?
And a final dumb question: do i have to change component values in the EQ
(op-amp-based), if my supply voltage is going to be less than that in the schematic?
Thanks
