Right, that's what I'd like to do, but I don't know if I want to deal with installing pushbutton switches. I'm lazy! Toggles would be easier and cheaper, but not as useful. Small rotaries might work though. Rotaries would be slick. two toggles for each channel (substituting toggles for the folcrom ...

The thing I'm having the most trouble deciding is how to handle the L/R/Mono/(off?) issue for each channel. Include it? Make it just L/R/Mono without an off? A three-way toggle sounds the most attractive; that means no "off", but I don't think it should matter. The folcrom box seems to be very clev...

Very alesis-y.

What if you just wire a cable backwards (tip to sleeve and vice versa)?

Am I overlooking something?

If you think it will be fun and want to learn, go for it. I built some home stereo speakers a few years ago. The basic deal seems to be that you won't make anything cheaper than the really cheap stuff, but that you will make something of higher quality for about the price of the medium-cheap stuff. ...
