Also, I gather it's an inside job, but I don't know one end of a soldering iron from the other. How complex is it, does it void the warranty and can the process be easily reversed?

By the way, are the four sends all stereo? I have one mono reverb unit and was wondering how best to hook that up for select channels. I'd have one stereo reverb/delay unit, a mono-mono reverb and hopefully a couple of guitar FX pedals (mono) available as well, via a Little Labs reamp box.

Is this possible on the R16, assuming the post-fader soldering has been done right? What's the total channel count for sends - four stereo or eight mono?

Thanks to EVERYONE that's contributed to this thread! It's the single greatest resource on the Zed R16 on the whole goddamn internet!
If you have no soldering experience , don't do it !
I had to fix an issue on my R-16 because a couple of grounding resistors did'nt make it on the circuit board. Mike gave me the option because, in my line of work I solder stuff all the time, and the warranty was'nt voided.

I think it would be on a case by case basis but I would'nt recommend it,
saying that the Aux send mod Mike said would be possible is probably
not an easy one and would probably need to be done by a bench tech.

No info has been posted about this mod.

The R-16 has 4 mono auxes ( FX send/returns ) to get stereo you use 2 mono auxes
