Hey thanks. I would still be interested in getting a 'real' pair if they become available. My solution is not the prettiest, but perfectly functional for horizontal placement in the case.

Funny because I didn't even have a hammer to bend the edges - I just bashed them on a step with the back of a monkey wrench. DIY clearly not my forte, however necessity being the mother of invention....
:)

> As my setup evolves: Currently the sub-outs are used, hard-panned, for 4 mono outs. The digital output goes into a dual channel / multiband compressor. I can route the whole mix through the multiband, or apply individual compression to 2 mono channels (Snare, percussion, etc.). Even better, this setup allows parallel or 'New York' style compression. I can mirror all or some of the drums on a seperate track kit, then bus that track through the compressor at extreme settings, and mix back with the original signal. Big drums! Easily done in software too.

> One thing about the FX sends - as only the dry signal leaves the sub outs, it' still possible to use the 4 FX sends, but the wet signal goes to the main outputs. So it's  possible to apply a variable amount of FX to each send, then parallel compressing the wet output with interesting results. I find the CS FX pretty weak overall, but try this with a teeny-tiny amount of reverb before the compressor, or throw in a distorted flange or delay. There's gold to be had in tweaking those busses.
