Bill, I too share your desire to have an instrument that is all in one case (no outboard gear). But you have to admit that the $99 price tag on the typical 6 channel mixer (with mic pres, effect loop, headphone amp) makes it hard to beat. Tony To: PLAN_B_analog_blog@yahoogroups.c

A passive attenuator is of course non-powered so the value of the pot is much less important. Basically anything between 10K to 100K is what you want. The higher the value, the less current is used. hope this helps, - P --- In PLAN_B_analog_blog@yahoogroups.com, "dingfutzer" wrot
