I understand the design philosophy for the unit - a stand alone table top unit like a Dark Energy . I just thought that a lot of users would like to incorporate something like that into their modulars. I was thinking of a board mounted parallel to the front panel but the length of the current design looks like it would take up over half or more of the 84hp of a euro rack. If it were 3 times as wide and 1/3 as long it would fit behind a panel on standoffs quite easily - sort of like a SEM's circuit board is mounted behind the pots. I guess I was projecting the perfect layout for me! Like I said a DIY A-111-5. I would one of those but I guess I will get a A-111-5 instead. Looks like you will get my cash either way :-)
