Re: patching/effects loop query

["Michael LaMeyer" <m.lameyer@verizon.net>]

you're getting a switchblade?  well, with a midi controllable
8in x 8out signal routing matrix like that, and programmable
level adjustments and all, why would you need an effects loop
piece?  with the sb, you could run linear or parallel as much as
you wanted, and have variations of both schemes available at the
push of a button.  weee!  i got one!  *laughs madly and wiggles
fingers*
