Yes my description was confusing, let me rephrase it: on one deck you switch attenuation before the opamp for the 5 first positions then for 6 to 11 you change resistor value around the opamp ( feedback loop) on the second deck ( and bypass any attenuation happening before the opamp), the last 12th position is unused/blank.
It's unusual approach to use attenuation before entering opamp. I remember many old time members being sckeptical about this as it have a potential 'to suck sound' ( whatever it means) iirc. Never been bothered by this in use with the 430mk2 i had access to in studio, so i don't know if concerns were legitimate. Neve did things his own way anyway and he probably have some very valid reason to do so...
I think the switch needs to be mbb but it's been a while since i had a 430 opened in front of me so i might be wrong about it?
