Title: Re: LP1 tech question

The first thing I'd recommend is that you check  the signal levels using the DM1000 tone generator, sent to the LP1 via the Omni out you've selected on the DM1000.  If the LP is an "instrument level only" device, then you might need to trim he output by 30dB or more.  Check the LP1 docs to see if there is a line level option...
