[LAU] Guitar to USB devices can be quite good

There are lots of guitar to USB audio devices out there and it seems they 
have all done them wrong. I modified one of them and it actually sounds 
very good. Perhaps better than plugging into the "high impedance" input of 
many audio interfaces or using a DI box into a mic input. The result is a 
much more open sound in particular with single coil pickups (or tapped as 
I happen to have).

Why do I think they have likely all done them wrong? The Application notes
say: "Please follow the reference schematic for microphone section 
design." So not only is it easy but it is recomended. I am sure it works 
well for a computer mic.

Anyway, for those who want a good quility direct to usb guitar cable here 
is my journey to fix a toy into something better.

I find it amazing that the manufactures would not reduce their parts count 
while making a better product.
