Never used the hardware

i owned one (actually two at separate times) and i'll argue that you dont need a large knob on the hardware version either.
why they put the most giant (albeit nice) attenuator knob right in middle is beyond me.
any passeq users actually use the attenuator???? when i had it, i used it for gain staging into the next piece of equipment--maybe thrice--but never for EQ level balancing.

Yeah - I don't get it either. I don't think I've touched that gain control but once in 2010, and yet those knobs are 2RU's worth all by themselves.
Between that and the volume of air in the chassis, it's really all that big in service of a control layout design concept.
I mean - in actual use, I guess I do kinda like the boost/cut band arrangement. But the EQ sounds good enough that I would have appreciated a simpler layout with less rackspace consumption.
