Where to put The Windmiller
Preamp on the effects chain?
Due to its low input impedance, the location of The
Windmiller Preamp on the effects chain is crucial to get
the desired functionality.
We will not extend ourselves on technical stuff (see page
19 to read a more in depth explanation of what impedance
is and how affects The Windmiller Preamp's tone) though
it's important for you to know how it will behave depending
on the position on your pedalboard.
To keep things simple, we will say The Windmiller Preamp
will add color to the tone when it's able to "see" the high
impedance signal coming from the guitar or bass pickups.
On the other hand, when a low impedance signal source
is plugged, like the one that comes out after a buffer,
engaged effect pedal or active pickups, will make The
Windmiller Preamp behave in a more transparent and
linear fashion. Almost no coloring besides the eq controls.

Having this in mind here's some practical examples that
will help you out to find the best setup for your beloved
The Windmiller Preamp.
