 Shows one here^, also shows balanced line driver and...
 anyone try this for a mic input ?
 I tried:

 But that was all DC motor and ac motor talk.
  oh yea, was looking for something to mellow out the peizo I have in a wafer wedged under the bridge [mustache type] in my parlor guitar, plenty of signal after the Jfet buffer, but it's 'hard' sounding, gets body tone [I have a rosewood wafer the peizo is imbedded in], needs eq at the very least, thinking maybe eq compression but I want feedback reduction [so comp is kinda going the wrong way with gain when not playing].

QuoteDC SERVO FOR AUDIO AMPLIFIER:

This type of DC SERVO is meant to keep the DC offset voltage at the output of an amplifier at about zero volts. Typically, a DC Servo is used with an audio amplifier so that AC-coupling/DC-blocking capacitors can be omitted from the signal path.
Now we BOTH know something new... ;)

Maybe a Limiter instead?
