Pressing the PAD switch reduces the input level by 20dB allowing line or
mic level signals that would normally be too loud for the Input stage to
handle to be connected without any audible distortion.

The Main Volume Control determines the amount of level sent from the
channel to the main output mix.
This allows each channel's relative volume level to be 'blended' together
to create the final mix whose overall level is then controlled by the Main
Master Volume control (8) .

The Monitor (Mon) Volume Control determines the amount of level sent
from the channel to the Monitor (Mon) Output (20) and also the Phones
Output(18)
This allows each channel's relative volume level to be 'blended' together
to create a separate monitor mix whose overall level is then controlled
by the Mon Master Volume control (9). This feature is used mainly for
creating a 'foldback' mix for the musicians and would normally be sent to
a monitor speaker with its own amplifier. (This could also be used for
creating a headphone mix)
The Mon Volume Control operates independent of the Main Volume Control
and will therefore not be affected if the Main Volume Control is turned
up or down. (For the more technically minded, the signal is sourced Pre-
Fader and Post EQ)
(5) FX Control
The FX Control determines the amount of level sent from the channel to
the GigFX digital effects processor and also to the 'FX Bus output'
connector (21)
This allows each channel's relative level to be 'blended' together to create
a separate effects mix whose overall level is then controlled by the 'FX
to Main' (24) and 'FX to Mon' (25).
The FX Bus Output connector could also be used to connect to other
external devices such as effects processors or recorders.
