Temple Audio's SUM to MON

hotpickups

Just noticed that Temple Audio have brought out a new module for their boards. It's a SUM to MON buffer/switcher. However, it doesn't have a 'Phase' switch or at least a 'Ground Lift' switch. I thought these would be quite important items to include when using two amps wouldn't it? Or am I missing something?

I would also argue with " Bring life back after a long chain of effects" ? A buffer needs to be BEFORE the cappy cables not after!

Yes Hot' it should (as a stand alone device) have either a permanently 'floating' output or an earth lift. phase (properly 'polarity) flip is also handy if you don't have identical amps.

And! WTF does it pull FIFTY mills from a battery? That's about TEN TL072s!

It'll have to be powered from a power supply like a voodoo lab etc. I've messaged temple audio about this phase issue but they have never responded. An oversight IMO
