Hi Phil

well i may partly agree but ...

-- the AN1X can be found for 400 450 euro for as much as i like it
i certanily can't say is a classic like a Jupiter 8 or else
so i dont feel so guilty in modifying the cosmetics (and if i do it
.. i will do it pro-way :-)) .. and maybe is me but i like functional
mods , they make the things more personal unique and more useful


-- the space on the right that u mention is alredy busy with my QY70
that fits there perfectly ! besides as soemone mention already on
here ,that space can be use for a dopfer pocket or in my case i tought
already to strip down a JLC fader master from faders to pots and fit it
in ... we will see !

-- If i do as u suggest i will loose teh combined funcionality of both
pedals and panel control cos i wont be able to wire internally
(ok maybe u can replicate the 3 jacks) .. still i would liek to have
a floating small box around
