also - vegetarian/genius (like Albert Einstein) Tom Scholz has sold the
midi  rockman OCTOPUS for years
it's a HALF space device that will control 8 devices also.... and with a
add-on for $75, you can set up a midi controllable effects loop....... i
see these used a lot. Lake butler/midigator also mad a few diff. 1/3 space
units that did this. save $$$ buy used
