Bob,

I have mine set so when my expression pedal is "floored", it lights up all the LEDs (except the red clip LED) to use the full input range of the amplifier.  For that, I have the GAIN control fully clockwise.  I then adjust the output to suit what the Ventilator should have.  For that, the OUTPUT is set to 12 o'clock.  I do NOT derive any distortion from the pre-amp, and would not recommend that to anyone.  I do not use.  I do not use any of the push buttons (none are lit).  That little pre-amp nicely warms up the otherwise shrill output of my Korg CX-3.

Yes,  you are right, the pre can also be used on just about anything else including guitars, mics, mixing boards, etc.

Lou

>Hi folks,
>My Art Tube MP Preamp came in at my local music shop and I am amazed that it does cut the shrillness of the upper octaves of my Casio WK-7500's organ patches pretty much as well as my Equalizer. It also combines nicely with the overdrive on my Vent. Any advice on ways that anyone found to tweak the knobs most effectively would be appreciated. I know what the 20+ gain button does but the other two little buttons between the knobs don't seem to do much of anything. Maybe those are for mic use?
