The Creative Engineer’s 500 Rack:
When inspiration strikes, you’ll never lose time removing and re-racking your modules to enact some clever routing. The PBR 8-500 is equipped with a fully balanced TT/Bantam patchbay for unlimited creative routing potential — a rarity in the 500-series landscape. You get Inputs and Outputs for every slot, as well as two Mults. The Mults offer a single input and two outs, each — allowing you to split the output of a single module to two others. It’s ideal for parallel processing.

Possibilities abound. You can easily audition a signal chain, reroute it, split it via one of the Mults, send it to modules in another rack, route it back, then output it — all right from the front panel.
