No, assuming it did anything (it probably didn’t) it would have broken down the input transistor of the op amp which wont have killed it but would lead to it get progressively noisier until it eventually died.
The synth output would have to be very large to accomplish that.
Ah. I see. Yea it was an Oberheim Matrix 6 and then Ensoniq TS-12
I may have gotten cocky and maxed out the volume knobs
It does seem like their is more of a white noise type of fuzz now (like Jesus & Mary Chain) but again it could just be that I have the tone knob set higher than I used to and am not realizing it
Sorry I can’t give a more definitive answer! Just one of ‘those’ problems. But if there is a more obvious problem down the line or after a while you decide it definitely doesn’t feel right, it’s a £0.25 chip and a 15 minute job to replace it. Can walk you through it as long as you’ve got a soldering iron.
With a couple of diodes you can tack some protection on the back of the circuit board if you wanna do it safely in future too.
