Hello all. I have a Montage 7 in White and it is the most amazing and beautiful keyboard I've ever played. I am running an electric guitar into the A/D input, and while I have accessed the effects in the Montage I need more sound options. Can I run through a few pedals and then into the Montage A/D input? I'm thinking tube screamer (minimal distortion), wah, delay, envelope filter, octavizer, etc.? I certainly don't want to damage the board and I'm wondering what the input tolerance is. I am putting a show together where I play multiple instruments and it would be nice to leave the amp at home, and the volume control of the A/D input right in front of me is handy.
Thank you.

Whatever you want.

I don't have the Vrms spec - but the reference manual shows ...
A/D Input (A/D Input Gain)
When using the A/D INPUT [L/MONO]/[R] jacks, this determines the input source, microphone (Mic) or Line.
Settings: Mic, LineMic: Intended for low output equipment, such as a microphone.
Line: Intended for high output equipment, such as a keyboard, synthesizer, or CD player.NOTE A guitar or bass having active pickups can be directly connected. However, when using passive pickups,
connect the instrument via an effect device.
... so effects are implicitly encouraged.

This is probably due to match impedance, so choose a pedal with buffered bypass... Boss pedals all have buffers.
