I've read a few articles about patchbays and I'm more confused than ever now. I'm losing a lot of time re-routing things. But I don't necessarily want everything "out" either.
What I have:
Fender Reverb Tank
Gibson Reverb Tank
Roland Space Echo
Zoom Q8 (Recording Interface)
Pedalboard
Guitar Amp
I like a very clean and open floor, so I'd prefer to find a permanent home for some of these items. I might decide to play surf on Monday, so I'll need the Fender tank. I'll play some ambient stuff on Tuesday, so I'l need the Gibson and the Space Echo, and may want to change the order of the two.
Am I best off just wiring a patchbay with using the "thru" mode? It seems too simple for that to be the answer.
