You can't use a guitar-specific preamp for signals "from someplace else". Guitar preamps have
different gains and input circuits than say a preamp to boost the output of an old tape deck.
That's why the Triple Preamp module has 2 "line-level" inputs and 1 guitar input.

Why? Once you shove the incoming audio into any VCF, the phase is screwed anyway :)

Why TRS? That's for ∗stereo∗ sends/returns.

That's missing the point of the module: I want ∗easy∗, no-cables/adapters, crap-o-la.

As noted, many folks do not want 'redundant' headphone outputs. I don't blame them :)

Maybe next year.
