Attenuation

Post by inverseroom » Wed Nov 09, 2005 11:35 am

OK, this is a really dumb, really basic question. I am building two of my already-too-high-output glitch boxes into one big box, and I intend to just route the output of each to a single output jack. I fear loading problems. What's the simplest way to attenuate the output to each? A resistor to ground? Or is there supposed to be a cap in there somewhere?

you could hookup a pad via switch..

or hook up a potentiometer, probably a 50k - 100k, just guessing.
