My UBK Fatso is on its way and I'm curious - what other sidechain volume control solutions people have people found?

There seem to be plenty of 2-channel mic pre's and compact mixers out there, but I haven't found a stereo passive gain control unit with independent control of 2 channels, which would be a requirement when using the fatso with channels unlinked. Surely a couple of pots in a box can't be that much of a niche product!

edit: just about to order an ART SPLITMix4, passive splitter/mixer with 4x mono/stereo channels, which will give me the necessary gain controls plus 2 spares, which in conjuction with the splitter input and some y-cables should add parallel compression knobs to the fatso as well. Will know for sure once I've got my hands on it.
