Use of a processor may be an optional item and if the processor uses digital processing, it is highly undesirable to drive it with a volume adjusted signal. Hence, you need a processor/tape loop which feeds a line-level signal at all times and can be switched in and out at will.
Why? It is a Active OXO and split at 300 hz. Passive from there up. Yes it uses a processor from there down, Why would the volume control have anything to do with being "undesirable"?
What is undesirable is to use an EQ, at all! Unless you want something of very low build quality, in the WHOLE signal path. Bottom to Top...
Add an EQ..
I offer a solution that, addresses probably the biggest contributor to distortion... BAD BASS.. And propper bass management...
No Eq needed, only tone control from the pre...
The system I spoke of, is a just way to use a tape loop also, along
with actual tape monitoring...
I guess love the loop it the topic.... LOL
