These sometimes have a lot of output signal (maybe approaching line level) but the impedance is all wrong. You generally do not want to plug an electric guitar into any device that expects a low-impedance line-level signal; the result is very dull and weak. otoh, you should hear SOMETHING :-) -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com
