guitar trigger for sound lab

hello, i am building the sound lab mini-synth and i am interested in the guitar trigger modification. i would actually like to be able to use any sound, rather than just a guitar. the design of the trigger shows a preamp for the guitar, does this mean that using other sounds (i.e. a microphone already run through a preamp or the output of my sampler) will overdrive the unit? distortion is great but i'd like it to be controllable.

you may call it volume or gain... Smile

wire it just like the output pot of the SL (see picture).

BTW it don't has to be 100k, 50k will do either...
