[quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='458281' date='Apr 9 2009, 12:27 PM']I'd make a 'producer placebo box' using bits from maplin. - aluminium box, pots, footswitch, jack sockets etc.
The input will be connected directly to the output and there'd be at least one footswitch and pot not connected to anything. Go crazy with painting it and give it a suitably funky name. With that on your board, anytime a bandmate asks you to make a change to your sound (including a request to turn the volume down) you'll have some controls to adjust to make them happy without actually messing up your sound.

Genius! I like it.
