Stereo level shifter — bring external gear into and out of Eurorack

4 HP Eurorack module

Nive Grad is a stereo (or dual-mono) level shifter that bridges Eurorack with external gear. The top section boosts low-level signals to Eurorack level (+12dB for line-level, +24dB for guitar/pedal-level). The bottom section attenuates Eurorack signals down to line or instrument level (-12dB, -24dB). The 1MΩ input impedance on the boost path handles passive guitars without loading down pickups. All jacks are passive with no controls to adjust — just fixed gain stages for clean, predictable level conversion.
