Volume Control Help
« on: February 18, 2007, 04:20:47 pm »
Can anyone please direct me to a link or tutorial on how to hook up my speaker volume on the CP or CAB.  I've been looking for awhile now and can't seem to find a good link.  TX.

You haven't found anything? Lots of people have done this - either they move the speakers POT connection and connect it externally, or they use windows volume control.

Isn't that basically a USB spinner (with tactile feel)?

Its software allows control of any rotary function, and yes it does work in MAME. Been there tried that got the T-Shirt. The resolution is OK but not up to GGG Spinner standards.

Oh yeah! almost forgot, the base lights up too... another thing to note, is that it's way overpriced on that site. WAY cheaper off e-bay.
