That goes away from my dream of keeping it in a single rack space, but it does bring up a good point. Would a filter box, like the Line6 pro be "more bang for the buck"? Would I miss the reverbs? I'm using the DSP128 exclusivly for a very long 100% wet reverb, for when things need to get DEEP. I guess I'm kind of asking for the mpx500 and a filter modeler in one single rack space box, and I'm probably not going to get it.
