Re: Guitar wiring.. Is this dangerous???



Yeah.  It swings the impedance to some funky value running through that device. Always best to bypass as many components as possible whenever possible.

Cheers /goodluck

>From a hands-on laboratory testing perspective I can scientifically
approve what Bill says. I too thought it was very convenient to simply
use a 20 cm cable and plug the guitar (or in my case "Stick") pickup
output right into the GK to blend into the same signal send. But when
playing I found that this degenerates the fidelity of the magnetic PU.
So I had to rethink my plan and go directly to the amp from the
magnetic PUs, in parallel with the Roland GK cable. That sounds so
much better, the through-put was just unacceptable.
