Hi Tony

I meant the 2nd clip where you are playing along to a backing track...that's a bit more up tempo than Thelonius Monk, is it your composition? I love the string raking strokes at 0.28"

Fantastic tone and playing on the Ceriatone track.......who's the song by??

1 Meg is certainly in the right area. A lot of rack mount type effects with Line input / output are in the region of a few k ohms.

I'm not sure what input / output impedances the Kleinulator presents as I've never looked at one.

You are correct in that the FX loop in the OTS is unbuffered valve which presents 2 issues, high signal voltage levels and high impedance.

It is a simple process to reduce the voltage level (a variable resistor or 'pot' will do this) however impedance matching is more complicated and involves the use of either a transformer or active circuitry (valves. transistors, op-amps etc).

If you feed a high impedance source (OTS FX Loop send) into a low impedance input (many FX units especially rack mount types which are most often designed for use in studio desk type send and returns) you will tend to lose both signal level and high frequencies.

FET's are often used in active buffer circuits due to their high input impedance characteristics - they are voltage devices like valves unlike standard bi-polar transistors which are current devices.

There's a new Overtone Special Layout published on the ceriatone site...dated 26th August.

Any ideas what the changes are?
