Unless the unit has the ability to route effects either before the preamp or in the amp's effect loop, I think it would be a waste of time and not differentiate the product enough from the rest IMHO. I know I sound like a broken record at this point, but I think as far as modulations go, it is a must have.

While its fun to speculate on something like this, how likely is it that Eventide would even consider it? Wouldn't that start stepping on their rack units (not too familiar with those products).
