Re: KP3+FCB1010 vs. DD20+KP3

[Dennis Moser <sinsofmachaut@gmail.com>]

There are a number of folks on here whop can address the issue of
using two DD-20's, either in serial or parallel. Given their
availability on eBay, I'd highly recommend investigating their use in
your application. It's been discussed here before, so you should be
able to look through the archives, as well.

And it's all about signal routing anyway...

Good luck and best,

Dennis
