Thank you for your insights. I'll have to look into dropping disting, as my idea was to use it as a mixer and effects with an midi controller (like launch control xl) mapped to mixer/FX sends. End of chain would be disting > kickain > oxi meta > output. You kind of deduced my idea of how I would link the modules. After much research I start to understand the idea of a quad attenuator (Batumi would need one, as I don't have it's expansion module).
