While I still haven't received a technical answer to my question, I
went back to the motm pdf catalog and found, "The MOTM-410 can be
used with any line level audio source (synth outputs, mixer effect
sends, etc.)" So I'm wondering why this pre-amp would be "worth its
weight in gold" for such an application.

Please notice I'm not knocking the idea of a pre-amp in and of
itself. While I'm not expecting to be able to plug a bass or a green
bullet directly into the 410 or 110, I am planning on using these
modules with samples and other synths. However, there seems to be a
strong difference of opinion as to whether or not this will work.
