Subject: Re: [ModularSynthPanels] 1U MOTM panel for three passive attenuators

From: Richard Brewster <pugix@...>

These Radio Shack Y adapters work nicely for the "Move-A-Mult" idea. I
have half a dozen.

I like the Port-A-Pot idea, except the pot will interfere with cables
plugged into nearby jacks. This gives me the idea to build a pot and
two jacks into a little box that I can run patch cables to. That way I
don't need to use valuable cabinet space for a panel with passive
attenuators (although that would be a tidier approach).
