MMM
Hotdog Deville
sounds tasty!

Well, the hotrod deville's second input is -6db less than input 1.
This input is favored by some players who have really high output guitars or powerful active electronics. It allows these kinds of players to have access to more clean headroom, rather than using input one and having pre-amp tube saturation when they don't want it.

HAPPY PLAYING!

Any truth to the idea that if both inputs are used (i.e. two guitars plugged in at the same time) then the -6dB filter is bypassed? I read this somewhere but I have never tried it out on my DRRI. When I'm taking a lesson my instructor uses a Fender amp - I think it's a "The Princeton" - which has dual inputs. He stays plugged in to input #1 with his PRS with dual humbuckers. I plug my Tele in to input #2 and it is so weak compared to his. I have to turn up all the way to even be heard. I don't know if this is due to the different output of the two guitars or if it's that -6dB filtering.

Hmmm. Not quite sure how the Princeton, as well as the DRRI work with the dual inputs, but on my Peavey Valveking, when two guitars are plugged in simultaneously, they actually BOTH become attenuated. I know this because the instant you unplug whatever's taking up input 2, the volume of the guitar plugged into input one increases again.
