Geof Thanks for the links, but all those devices have attenuations in
the 20-40 db range,

A simple change of 2 or 4 resistors.

I'm looking for 3-6 db, and easily activated
while standing in front of a mic.

Easier still to simple blow a little harder. Or to be playing a little
softer beforehand. And you are only talking about a little.


Regarding your comments on how the musical world should ideally be, I
have no control over what others do, so as a practical matter I need
to do what works when I am asked to fill in with a band. I take it
you are not an active musician yourself?

Active yes, professional (musician) no, unless you call some basic
backing tracks 'pro'. But with my producer hat on I think I know what
to request from, or suggest to musicians who I am working with. And that
is usually to address the problem in the performance rather than with
equipment.
