I personally am not interested in the guitar level inputs.
I really won't find much use for a distortion at the input stage either.

Will it handle microphone levels??? This sounds like it would be of more
use to some of us.

I like the idea of multiple (3) synth/line level inputs!!!

This will be 1U right?
