Hi Scott Good to hear of another XL owner out there! I'm impressed with this machine - let's keep exchanging ideas I think you can do what you want - by either adjusting the Mic or Inst level knob...and/or by putting yourself through a mini mixing desk before it goes into the XL but I'm new here so take this with pinch 'o salt Best Piers -- ================================================================== Piers Gibbon ------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.piersgibbon.com | piers@piersgibbon.com On Oct 21, 2004, at 8:45 am, M.C.
