This has bothered me for some time and I was hoping that you guys could help...

My stereo mic pre also has built in filters (and compressor/limiter that I probably will never use). While the gain for the pres is stepped, the controls for everything else are not.

Am I crazy in thinking that this makes the filters/comp/llimiter completely pointless in a proper stereo scenario? How can I assure accuracy in settings for both channels if the controls are not stepped?
