If you have too much input signal, turn the knob down. If it is all the way at the bottom of the range, then probably your unit doesn't have the gain changed. With the mod, there should be enough gain through it to convert from a -10dB signal to +4dBu, if that were your goal. > Of course the >input was also totally fried when I bought it, so I'm always wondering if >the >distortion I hear on input is some kinda residual "stuff" from that >repair >job.

You could just open it up and check the resistor values to know if that is the issue or not. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
