mr. Fixr:

One thing I wouldn't use it for is a guitar, unless acoustic only. Guitar amps are designed a tad differently, and clipping and distortion are intentional.


RSK20m3:

This is where I would agree with Mr. Fixr. Yes, AM sounds very good on 38-690, but, at least in theory, putting the same signal through mo-dem conversion vs amplifying directly, as a minimum, does not improve anything.
AM Radios never reached the quality of direct HiFi.
FM came close. But even then...
