Hi Dave,

yes I don't need phantom power for my guitar :)

I'm in a very common case that switching the phantom power ON on the
mixer will send the 48V to all the mixer XLR inputs and I can't use any
other input channel for my guitar without some compromise.

Ah and I need phantom to power a condeser microphone of course.

Best regards,
Andrea
