I bought a Korg NTS-1 kit about a year ago and have really liked it as a small and powerful stereo multi-effects unit. The only problem I've run into is that the input jack's volume is set really low out-of-the-box, so you have to really crank its output, and if you then trigger any of its own internal synth sounds, they're super-loud vs the stuff you're running through it.
To fix it, you just have to boot into the "Global Parameters" menu by holding the 'Reverb' button while you power it on, then go to the second item--input trim (which shows as 'trn' on the 7-segment display; very helpful)--using the 'type' knob, and change its value from the default -6 dB to 0 dB (as high as it goes).
To the best of my knowledge, this is never explained directly anywhere in the manual, though to be fair, the manual doesn't really explain much of anything. The section on the Global Parameters menu lists the available values for this setting, FWIW. Seems like a weird value to have as a default, even setting aside how obscure the setting is, but whatever. I'm not calling the shots at Korg.
Anyway, I just got another NTS-1 and spent a half hour trying to find this setting again (which is indicative of how well-hidden this info seems to be, since I already knew what I was looking for this time), so I figured I'd better put it on the ol' blog in case I need it again in the future.
