Yep - got to be careful with those unlimited transients. a guitar pickup can easily put out 20+ volts... Of course guitar amplifier manufacturers know this and let their input stages overload and their power stages sag to avoid destroying even the 12 or 15 inch drivers! I used to have a cabinet used by Jon Lord of Deep Purple (you can see it or one just like it on the cover of Made in Japan)... It was a Custom made Marshall with a massive compression driver for the top end. If you put a 100w valve amp through that the sound was indescribably loud... And dangerous, It was also made of 1 inch marine ply and the heaviest thing I've ever tried to lift... -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
