I think the layout and switching is super clever. Smooth, fast, quiet. The whole thing could be hardwired into a combo amp build. I even considered just using quarter inch jacks for the send and return and using quarter inch to RCA cables. I like keeping channel A all the way down as a startup...
I don’t have a pedalboard or any always-on effects. This is going to live on the cab, next to the head, wired up with short runs, to stay. I’m still giddy.
