This really bugged me. :) I flipped the switch up to the H position 
and the drum actually got _louder_. Tried this with the toms as well. 
I thought attenuation means lowering the input levels... :)

Has somebody flipped the circuitboard when I wasn't looking?

I think there was a slight change with these settings. But the 
dynamic range is still pretty bad. I really have to go easy on the 
snare or it maxes out immediately. 

Well... that should help to develope an extremely silent ghost note 
on an acoustic kit. ;)
