Just remember, while today it is he, we all shall fall.
:lol: :evil:

Will pick up a RackBrute 3U + cables and stuff. Drawing up my own modules for interfacing with guitar/piezos, an attenuverter a headphone output so I guess I am starting out semi-modular. Will mostly be looking at audio signal processing (guitar pedal mindset..) for now so I guess it makes sense not over-complicating things too early. Still need some fun CV source though...

Cool! Rackbrute looks nice for a small setup.

For fun CV, maths/batumi/wogglebug/PNW/ochd/marbles are good (among many others of course) - depends what flavour of fun you want and how much room you want it to take up:)

For getting in and out all you need is to attenuevert the outputted signal (so any VCA basically, just turn it down) and then amp it up on the way back in. You know this already ofc, but there are specific modules for this sort of thing (xaoc sewastapol (spelling?)), but imo all you need is a strong enough amp to get guitar signals up to euro lvl. bringing it down to go out again is easy.
Definitely. My "Guitar-to-Euro" module is just a 20x amplifier and the headphone module is basically just a pair of buffers. Just figured this would be cheaper to make those utility tools myself. :)*

Will post some pics once I'm up and running :joy:

Not much to look at just yet. Just utility modules for now. Attenuverter, dual headphone output and a booster for guitar/piezo input.

Added an "L" to the end of the url, but the pic is still too big :facepalm:
