Correct, eub. But it does work very well for gigs where high output is not required, such as coffeehouse or restaurant duo or trio situations. That's what I (and others on this forum) have used them for. Interesting, I read once that a "musical instrument" replacement drop in board was going to be available for this series, but I suppose Flying Mole went out of business before it could be marketed in the US. It may have been available in Japan.
