============

method 1 (recommended):
an easy way to limit the potential for destroying speakers and ear-drums
is to limit the resonance setting in your patches. instead of the
resonance parameter going up to 15, leave it around 10 (or something).
with the patch programmed that way, you can go crazy with the knob and
remain safe.

method 2 (not recommended):
another way to do it would be to add a resister in series with the
resonance pot, between the CW terminal of the new pot and the old location
of VR5. experiment with different values, starting with ~ 20K.
