By the way, it's quite simple to attenuate the output level with a
passive volume control. I had a surprisingly hard time finding a
simple illustration of this on the web about a week ago, so I made this page:
http://www.bitshifted.com/circuits/volume_control.html

This will do nothing to deal with impedance, of which Reamp makes a
particularly large issue. But for the price of a pot and some jacks,
it's worth a try. Then all you need to do is amplify the return
signal. As they say, YMMV.

Comments and corrections if needed, please.
