For your rack...
The Alesis Multimix 8 Line has 8 stereo line ins,
and a stereo fx send (and return).

Just had a look at the schematic and it would
be possible mod it to have an insert on the main bus
without adding any extra components.

Quality is ok for live work.
Seems well built.
Since having it my rig I have more of a problem
with mains hum(compared to Behringer Ultralink)...but possible to sort 
that.
