Re: [Simmons Drums] cranking up the SDS-V output

2010-03-01 by jesper

Found the message again, it was Michael's and written back in Sept 2006:

"To get a fat output (line level), remove all seven 68 ohm resistors on 
the backpanel (wired between pin 1 and 3 on all seven individual 
outputs). And if you have your SDSV opened already, you can change the 
output wiring."
