The EDP has more gain range available than most processors because it was designed to handle a wide range of input signals, not just line level. We wanted people to be able to plug a guitar or even a microphone directly into it without needing a preamp, in addition to directly supporting line level signals. (We considered this to be a plus over other devices, crazy us!) So if you are using line level signals, then yes, it is expected that the input would be turned down fairly far. We originally had much more gain on the early units, but people just couldn't understand it and clipped the inputs all the time. So we changed the gain structure. That's what the resistor mod for older units is all about. Doing the calculations on changing R10 from 2.2k to 10k, the max input gain is reduced about 13dB with this mod. The amount reduced actually changes through the knob range due to the way the circuit works, so on the lower end of the range the mod reduces the gain by 4-6dB. Therefore, if you already had the knob in the lower range that isn't a huge change, but should be noticeably different. If you really just can't sleep at night without your input knob exactly in the 12:00 position, you can try increasing the R10 resistor some more. For example, you might try changing R10 to 51Kohm. That should reduce the 12:00 position by another 10dB. Hopefully this will bring you peace and make you feel at one with your input knob. If not, there are more resistors out there. Your perfect gain setting lies among them. If you seek you shall find. kim At 10:45 PM 9/15/2002, Sean Echevarria wrote: >I have to keep my EDP input at 9:00.
