For those of you using SSL 9000 boards, do you ever use the EFX routing?

I came from E and G series boards, never had EFX routing to begin with, now use a 9000 on occasion, it's there, I know how to use it, but I don't, it's not in my ingrained repertoire.

Anyone use EFX routing and find it invaluable?

Had and worked on same consoles and yes, IMHO, having EFX on the board seemed to help them get used more and more creatively. I simply just found myself thinking of FX as more integrated into the song.

Facilitates using more reverbs, compressors, just outboard in general, with less patching and routing effort, that much is clear.

If I ever needed more than 2 cue mixes I can see where it might be useful too, but I don't ever need more than 2.

Yes! As the others say it is a great way to acces other fx processors. I use it regularly to acces PT reverbs and delays.
