Hi, the classic or usual schematic of a Reamp Box is one which has around 10kOhm output impedance to replicate the DC resistance of a guitar pickup. Has anyone experimented with adding a 250K pot as an 'extra' output volume control to replicate the guitar volume knob? I would add it after the 25K pot in this case. I think that this would interact better with low input impedance guitar pedals such as the Fuzz Face.
What do you think?
What do you think?
As far as I know fuzz faces react in a particular way to the guitar volume potentiometer (the pickups are loaded as well due to the low input impedance of the fuzz face) thus a particular interaction is obtained with the volume knob. Addin the 250k potentiometer might restore that interaction.
Yes. That is obviously what the second pot is for. If you think it needs to be a higher value, use a higher value. I'm not sure what asking on a hi-fi-oriented forum does; this is very situational and personal-taste/need. A test pot costs a buck and takes minutes to rig-up.

Might restore it how? The pickup is loaded by the input side, not the output side, other than its reflected impedance which is already 10K or less.
Hiw this is Line Level is another mystery.

Topic is "reamp". Sometimes we record the guitar dead clean. Then the next day we run it through a distortion process (amplifier). This sometimes gets a better result.
So in the reamp phase the "guitar" is really the tape machine and other studio line gear. The reamp box is a convenient pack of connectors, ground-break, attenuation.
