Hmm. I see. So if I don't do the soldering bit, I've only got enough S/R action for one stereo reverb unit, post fader. Is that right? That would be a bit rubbish.
A total of four is not a disaster, as that's my stereo reverb for two, my mono reverb and one other mono piece of gear (e.g. Red Witch Deluxe Moon Phaser, mmm... spacey) for a total of 4 auxes.
Why are two of the auxes pre fader? Is there any sensible way to use these during mixdown or are the majority of people wishing they were all post fader, like me? This mixer would be all about recording if I bought one, no live gig use whatsoever.
I'm absolutely ready to get something like the R16 and get on with recording, turning my back on ITB mixing for ever (I hope). But for that to really happen, I need my four FX busses at mixdown!
So it's technically possible, but it sounds like the solder thing is a point-of-no-return deal, what's done is done, que sera sera. Thanks for the warning, LK.
I wonder how close we are to an R16 MkII. Most of the wish list doesn't _seriously_ concern me, especially as I imagine it would push the price up by a couple of hundred quid, getting close to £2K - which is Toft ATB territory. Same goes for an R24 - that would surely have to be around £2K on account of the extra channels and new functionality people are calling for.
