If the effect returns on the board are mono, that would explain the use of an external board - getting stereo returns from all 4, or 6 effect units. Plus, back then the SPX90 was quite popular - they all had their fave boxes they would use to get their sound.
I am sure of that. The analog inserts are only active "going in".

Many thanks for your input! (pun intended). If I understand you correctly...the "stereo returns" that you are referring to are "faux" stereo, generated from a mono input, ala PCM70?

By the time the DA7 came along, I think that the SPX90 was still alive and being used, but mainly in FOH racks. The TC Electronics M2000 was current with the release of the DA7 and gained many fans.

I appreciate your responce, Uncle Duncan, and will greatly appreciate all other's as well.
