ObUmmHack: The lead singer in my band is always bitching about how the guitars are too loud and his vocals are miked too low; he then continually turns up his vocals on the PA system. So I took apart the PA and re-wired his mike switch (he always uses the same one) to the one that controls the input >from the guitar amps. Now, every time he tries to turn up his vocals the guitars seem to get louder. Damn, I *hate* when that happens.
