MASTER V-Pot

•Acts as the Master level control for the cur- rently selected Aux bus.

•In all surround mode settings, the MASTER V-Pot acts as the front/rear pan control for the selected channel (provided the PAN button is lit). When used along with the channel pan V-Pot, the D8B acts like an audio rendition of the family favorite Etch-A-Sketch®!
