For various reasons I am not going to be able to set up at a show tonight and will have to wear my mics it looks like. I would prefer to use my littlebox rather than my PS/2 so I can get some cleaner gain from the LB. I'm sure somebody has tried this in the past. My only concern is that the level knobs on the LB turn extremely easily, so I was thinking of just gaff taping them in what I am 90% sure is the position they will need to be in, doing so conservatively so I can add a little gain from the recorder if need be. Has anyone tried that, or have any other tips about using this pre in that manner? The LB would be carried in a messenger-type bag in a separate pocket, so it'd be somewhat shielded from being hit. I thought about just carrying my lowepro bag (because this is NOT "stealth" per se) but it's a bit bulky to wear in a crowd.
