Re: Stepabout - possible patch points?

It seems like you would not need the StepAbout's routing at all, as you could route those signals at any other point in the signal chain thereafter.
One could route it with more gear, but that's...well...more stuff - higher overhead, in cost, component count, physical footprint, power routing -- all the standard engineering goodness
It, essentially just, wastes the stepabout's routing matrix only to duplicate it downstream
So what I'm looking at is basically, take the same routing architecture that the stepabout
IS designed for, just as you would now.
BUT THEN allow for expanded possibilities in the basic tone sculpting module.
if it helps - A thought exercise might be to mentally construct a totally signature stepabout-based signal chain..then go "if only the stepbout EQ had [insert feature..Q control, second mid, etc]" might be helpful.
It's not dissimilar to adding an FX loop to an amp that lacks it.
Depending on the internals. It
may (that remains to be seen) be a fairly tractable modification (if there are sub-boards or if the traces are big enough to cut...it might even be a feature to think about adding a jumper pad for in the next rev of the PCB)
