How did I live without this for so long?

From the comfort of my listening chair and sweet spot, I can now control the bass boost from my subwoofer or turn it off completely depending on the recording to suit my taste.

Running my sub from preamp out to this box and then to the sub

Listened to some Led Zeppelin yesterday so a bit of boost never hurts. Some other recordings require none whatsoever so off it goes. This can vary from album to album or song to song on the same album.

Excellent find Emil. Ordering two. Thanks.
If it had a polarity switch it would be the next best thing to sliced bread. Lots of LPs are mono bass due to low Hz. Until you hear it in action one will just never know. Ignorance of this is not bliss. :D

Yes it would, Charles
I've found that polarity can change from one cut to the next on the same album.

I wonder what kind of volume attenuation it uses. Doesn't say. Maybe a small motorized pot inside?
