Subject: Re: [motm] Attenuator Options

From: "T.J." <goku@...>

I used the Moog design for a passive attenuator. Simple design, three
pots and 6 jacks. Wired so the first input will go to all 3 attenuators/
outputs. You disconnect the chain by plugging into the second
input/third input. So it can be a multiple as well. Very useful module
in my setup. Perhaps a 1U Stooge panel if Paul has no plans to release
such a module?
