I actually would dispute this. In a number of circumstances your output is
being patched into an attenuating input, so the output level is redundant in
that instance; however, there will be that occasional time where you'll need
it and so it's worth it.

My idea one more time:
1) one 3 position switch to determine if the output level only affects
OUTPUT1, OUTPUT2, or BOTH (middle position).

2) One two position switch to determine if the mixer is in 6X1, or 2X(3X1)
mode.

3) If the input from 1 is normalled to input 4, but the mixer is in the
2X(3X1) mode, then you have one input going to two level controls (1,4),
through a dual ganged master output level, to two separate outputs (STEREO).
You don't have a PAN control, just a LEFT and RIGHT level control for each
input. In the same way normal 2 to 5, and 3 to 6, for three input stereo
output. Isn't that the idea Dave?

A picture is worth a thousand words!
