Removing knob from switch on Roland JC77

[The Dude]

Hi Dude,
thanks for you message, but may I ask a question? What's the amplitude ratio in a pickup coil compared to a turntable cartridge? MC cartridges emit signals measured in hundreds of microvolts, and are amplified without noise (not a these levels anyways), and this over a full audio spectrum and at rather high quality levels, obviously. Why is it unreasonable to ask the front end of a guitar amplifier to do the same?

Sorry, I must be missing something because I really don't get it...

Well, low level turntables have pre-emphasis and de-emphasis circuits for noise reduction, so it's not a fair comparison. That said, I'm not faulting you for trying to lessen your noise- just pointing out that some noise is normal.
