These enhancements to the poly mode would be very cool. I can see a place
in my MOTM rack for one of these. I would use the Kenton for lead lines
and the Encore for poly. Damn!! I'm gonna need more modules for that.
Next on my list would be a brightness control for that LCD backlight. In a
pinch, one could double that up as a stage strobe by turning the power on
and off. <snicker>
