im using 4. pretty much 1 per rack. i have everything wired through it. if it's not plugged into the patchbay it is not easy to use. so i plug EVERYTHING into a patch point

None. Seven PO316 B-gauge bays in use plus a spare for expansion.

2x TT patchbays, one with 96points, one with 192 points. The 96 point one covers 24 lines from the soundproof room normalled to the console preamps, 24 lines to external preamps, 24 from the external preamps, 24 lines to the line-ins on the console.
The 192 patchbay covers all the inserts from/to the console with the send/return broken out to separate connectors (so 48 dedicated just to console inserts), the rest are to/from external gear with the I/O broken out to separate connectors. I think I only use about half of this one right now.
I'm thinking of adding another one for the effects sends/returns to make it easier to patch them.

I thought about it and went ahead and bought another 96 TT patchbay for the effect sends/returns. They've gotten pretty cheap on ebay, 50$ shipped.

One of the best investments you can make is a bay or 2 or 3, wired to provide, polarity flip, pads, mults, Transformer splits, isolation Transformers. Plus have all your adaptor cables setup so you adapt to what's in the bays. You then simply use a mult as the adapter, less clutter and speeds things up ! Having every audio jack wired to the bays sure saves time when somebody shows up with something new to play with! |

How are the switchcraft 9625’s are they a robust build quality, because they seem kinda fid’ly with those switchable normaling screws, maybe it’s just the way they look in the pics?

If my memory is correct the screw is a rotary switch that can't be easily bumped, high quality, not cheap in any way and hard to beat at the price! |

I agree that the Switchcraft 9625 is very high quality, and the rotary normaling switches are sturdy and easily adjusted with a small flat head screwdriver. Not fid'ly at all. The Redco bay is also high quality, but if I want to change the normaling, I have to pull it out of the rack, as the sliders are on top of the unit.

So I spent a few hours over a couple nights this week stripping the old connections and then hooking up some snakes and cables to the patchbay I'm going to use for my effects sends/returns.  |

There must be a shit ton of relays inside that thing. I'd like to see the internal routing on that thing. I also don't imagine this will be cheap. But it's a cool idea. I wish I could afford six of them. |
