Subject: Re: POLY800 Mod Question: dedicated effects?

I wrote a huge reply just now but for some reason it's not showing, dammit!

Basically I'm shortening rest of the case this weekend and mounting the boards before I tackle the nightmare of soldering over 19 switches and 14 knobs, I have the looms made up with removable connectors already, not looking forward to drilling the mounting holes accurately either but I'm being patient and taking my time as I want this to looks the best I can.

Looking forward to hearing your fx mods, cheers again!

It doesn't matter to me that I have 2 or 3 chords coming out for A/C, that's what powerstrips are for, though purists of aesthetics may scoff :) My dedicated effects module will be piggy backed, not integrated. I'm not planning a complete integration like frankenkorg, because I simply don't have that kind of skill.
