I'd wish to built an outboard "multiples" box.  I need more multiples 
(A-180 style), but my case space is already all occupied.  

If I'm building a box inside wich I install a few 1/8" jacks and linked 
them pin-to-pin... I should expect the same result as a A-180, right?  
Is there a limitation on how many jacks I can link before getting 
signal loss?  Is there measures I should take to make it safe (ground 
anything)?

My idea seems so simple, that I fear I'm missing something important.  
Looking closely at a A-180, I can't see anything else to it.

Thanks

Building a multiple is as simple as soldering all the jacks together.
 You don't need to earth it.  There will be signal loss relative to
the physical length of your multiple (probably very small) but also
for every CV in you try to drive with it.  I can't fathom the maths
behind this, but in my experience, 10 or so outputs should still be
strong enough a signal if you are sharing a Trig or Gate or audio
signal around, but don't expect a string of VCOs to still manage a
full octave for your 1Volt input.
