Hey all - Just wondering, how could I play with the gain on the Quickie. I'm sure there are different ways to do it. I want to increase it now that I'm using it with my sub amp.
cheers - Eric

A Quickie with a PJCCS is going to get all the gain you can get from the 3S4 the way that it is configured. One possibility would be to add a second Quickie in series with the existing one, essentially creating a two stage preamp.

You can share the batteries for the two stages and share the chassis. I did it  in the past.

cool, thanks - I'm going to slap the PJCCS back in!
