I'm still not sure about the RMS. I'm Calculating the max current by dividing 30VA by the volts.

I just found my cable for connecting to the PC and I'm shocked. With the current setup I managed to get to the point where it started clipping and hold it there without anything blowing up.

I added a 10nF cap between the pot's wiper and ground which took a little of the sharpness off the high parts and it's sounding perfect. Now the problem is how to do that with the PIC. I will try connecting my scope up to see if I can get anything useful out of it.

How would multiple RC stages work? Couldn't the same effect be achieved using a single RC with different values?
