TLO7x? Really? There are better opamps out there.
For instrument amps, you often want something with a bit of coloration. Being too "hi fi" sounding is usually a bad thing.

#12Its nice to see an in depth report on the design of an analogue device in a world cluttered with binary. Wow slew rate, common mode rejection, clipping and the like, love those terms. It also shows that in spite of the digital revolution its still very much an analogue world we live in and experience.
That analogue world we live in is the macroscopic manifestation of a lot of quantized stuff underneath. It's just that the steps are (a lot) smaller!

LOL - yes, you are quite right, I wondered even as I commented (or it may have been slightly after posting) about the digital-ness of ones own DNA that has provided a way for one to evolve to the point we can appreciate (and build) a bass guitar and the pre-amplifiers to go with it. Yes, thanks. Still it was nice to see some circuitry with resistors, capacitors and opp amps, and to read a little about the design.
