I have a euro system ( with more Plan Bs on the way :-)  ) I am going
to buy the headphone module, also looking at the Model 33 or 9...To my
thinking they both perform the same basic function ie attenuation/
mixing. I understand the 33 has the voltage control attenuation but
isnt it really all i need to mix say 3 sounds to then go out to the
M40 headphone ?  

ie 3 sounds into Model 33 to headphones 

or

3 sounds into model 9 to headphones

Yeah, that's a totally valid application.  The triple VCA has a mix
out, in that application it is a three input voltage controlled mixer.

Concerning the Triple VCA, I was wondering whether the knobs offset the 
CV inputs or rather attenuate them. Both functions are useful...

I just received my very first plan b module!!!! F YES!  Model 28 Tap clock baby! I"m uber excited!  I'll get to plug it in the system tnite when I get home... I can't stop staring at it tho... beautiful looking module. Should be fun with my Metalbox Sequential Switch! ;)

I"ll post updates tnite! :)

The model 9 would actually be quite handy in conjunction with the 
headphone amp. eg: You could input 2 stereo pairs to the m9 and route 
them accordingly to the M9 A ("Left") and B ("Right") outputs then on 
to the two headphone amp inputs (ensuring that you operate the 
headphone amp in stereo mode). Or, you could input up to 5 mono 
sources to the M9 and take the output from the M9's A+B socket and 
send that to the headphone amp (running the amp in mono mode).

Regards, 
Adam

The pots are an offset only.
