 An advantage of this method is substituting for resistors in-circuit where a digital resistor of matching value is not available, or where voltages and currents would be higher than they are rated for. An advantage of this method is substituting for resistors in-circuit where a digital resistor of matching value is not available, or where voltages and currents would be higher than they are rated for.

 It is completely noiseless because the MB and FX circuits are electrically isolated and only coupled mechanically,​ but could be expensive, as motorpots aren't cheap, and it could also be harder to do mechanically. This way would mean that the price would vary depending on how many knobs you need but we would need the additional MF module for this.  It is completely noiseless because the MB and FX circuits are electrically isolated and only coupled mechanically,​ but could be expensive, as motorpots aren't cheap, and it could also be harder to do mechanically.
