Does more volume increase impedance? No, level is not related to impedance, unless you are distorting the signal at that stage. Isn’t a guitar level like 100 ohms and line level, Keyboards etc, like 1000 ohms? No, guitars are high impedance devices, they like to see about 1 meg ohm You’d want a buff...
