Hey Trond,

Dude I love your sound always... I read that you use a pre amp straight into your sound card. How exactly does that work? Wouldn't the preamp blow your sound card out of your PCI slot? Is it because your pre amp has MIDI out or line out or something?

edit:

Hm, I think I may be thinking of a power amp. The preamp needs a power amp doesn't it?

I can connect my pre-amp directly to the inputs of my soundcard because the pre-amp has got line-outputs that designed to go straight into a mixer or soundcard. So your probably thinking of a power-amp smile.gif

The preamp will need a poweramp if you want to get sound out of a ordinary guitar-speaker or cabinet.

Preamp=signal
poweramp=amplification

If you pull your preamp to your soundcard, the soundcard will be another preamp, then your stereo amplifier will be the poweramp.
Or if you use headphones, the soundcard will be the poweramp.
