What about the part where he says, not recommended for use with condenser microphones.

While mic'ing drums with condensers on toms, I have the mic -10 pads in and the Syteks all the way down. It's still too much gain.

I've had no hardware related problems with my set up on Snow Leo for the last few months.

A most excellent post. Thank you.
