Re: Mixer question - tolling my peeps (you guys)

woooaaa!!
do you Remember me reading your mind by sending you an email during the last winter 
about some 1u high multiple strip that could be out of the main synth case(to save space 
for powered modules?
Well there you've read mine with that and I was gonna post something that could be along 
that general idea... I was thinking though to add on the side of each input a 3 way switch 
that would have 1) OverDrive, 2) signal off 3) signal on(no OD).. Because I find it annoying 
on my doepfer mixer that it starts to OD at some point but all that with a pot which makes 
it hard to use wisely live for drastic effect...you know a sudden noise surge in your face 
kinda thing instead of going up progressively (no matter how fast you twist your wrist)
And also maybe at the general out another 3 way switch with +xxdb -xx db and no 
change

So to come back to the main topic, I'm all for it to be able to stack up other mixers, very 
VERY Handy!!!
