Still working.. :thmbsp:

Put a toggle switch in the back, nothing technical. It's my bench pre, wasn't pretty to begin with.

That was my next alternative, I like the sound. :thmbsp:

Yes I like the Pa as well, just wish it didn't have that silly stepped volume pot.

Why? Explain? :scratch2:

The stepped volume pot makes it difficult to "fine tune" the volume when you are measuring output with a scope and loads- a non stepped pot would be ideal. The issue is the step- one step could be before max and the next into clipping- there could be an in between on the step itself. When I have some free time I'm going to either change it or remove the "stepper" part of the pot.

Thanks for that answer. I never get the chance to play at that volume. Apartment complex.

Thanks,
John.

Happy New Year!
