I could find use in any of these:
4-16 inputs to stereo outs, just hard left and right.
simple 4 in, mono out

It could be cool if we had switchable/choice of a few different opamps/trannies so we could do something like build 2 different colored busses with fewer inputs that then cascaded to a third unit. A switch ala shadow hills would be coolest. After that, things like faders and pan controls become nice.

Tonally, I'm finding I really don't have any excitement towards new clean gear, except converters to more accurately capture the dirty sounds. Something somewhere between egg-whites and rubber cement in texture... you know smooth out some highs, barely, and add perceived depth/density. The other contrasting flavor would be the faster, crunchy in the top one. Fudge and rock candy.

There's so many middle of the road sounds already. If I'm going to build something, I'd want it to be different, something with a purpose.
