Suck Knob

How many sound guys out there have one these on their board?

“The “suck knob” is a myth I have created with bands, performers, and entertainers. I do sound at bars and events and stuff, and I set up their equipment. I got so sick of being asked to make them sound better than they were so I started saying that I would make sure and turn the suck knob down, like it was this magical thing. Turning the suck knob down means making everything sound a little better, making everything look a little better, and being in a happier place.” - Sean Ferrell, Sound Engineer, San Diego, CA
