MOTM

slightly? off-topic: i have an old tascam PB-32P 1/4" patchbay that i am 
integrating into my MOTM setup. i have taken it apart to see how this 
sucker is wired and it seems that there is no way around the fact that **a 
cord plugged into an upper rear jack automatically gets sent to its 
corresponding lower rear jack.** (this loop gets broken upon inserting a 
cord into the front upper jack.)  however, what i want is a 
straight-through patchbay so that when i plug my mixer's output into a top 
rear jack and route the bottom jack to an input channel on the mixer it 
doesn't create an automatic connection. i want it simple! basic! is that so 
hard!? *whimper*

or: can someone help me re-think this so i don't have to go into every 1/4" 
jack and pull out the little tabs that reroute the signal?

ppfpfffft
