I know that it's probably pretty simple to choose with something like the Timeline, since they just change the destination in the software, but what about for analog parameters?
You can for sure and I ponder it all the time with my builds.. the catch is you kind of need a frivolous amount of extra pcb space to fit a switch in since the mix expression requires 3 separate connections. So you'd need the 3 for the mix jack, 3 for the mix pot, and then a max of 3 for whatever else you want to connect.. a 3PDT switch for the pcb.. and those switches are big, 20 to 40 square mils, not easy to squeeze onto an already jam-packed pcb.
The processor inside a pedal like the TimeLine is different than the Spin FV-1.. the Spin has many more limitations, many less inputs and outputs that can be worked with... the kind of micros that the big guys use to make the super powerful pedals are almost a different kind of beast to the Spin and how it's set up.
So it's a decision of what to control and I personally think wet/dry mix is the most powerful/versatile/useful/musical.
