12. Questions

“Where's the -20dB pad switch?”

Because the input attenuator precedes the tube gain stage, the input level control acts as a
variable pad. It can be used to either reduce the level of a hot input signal, or to simply set
the overall gain of the preamp.

“Sometimes I hear distortion in the peak limiter!”

To allow maximum creativity, the release time of the limiter was intentionally allowed to
operate over a wide range. This means that with some signals, when the release time is set to
the fastest setting some audible distortion may be created. But not to worry, if this distortion
is not desired, just turn the release time knob counter-clockwise and slow down the release.
The sound of a super-fast release time can be used as a creative effect. Try it on vocals or
drums! Try it on anything.
