Sounds neat. We've made something sort of similar to this for a dear friend of mine, but the goal wasn't to make a less expensinve Series II. His Series II has no controls at all on it, everything is rackmounted, except the master volume which is a pedal. Wish I had a photo of it, but that was back in the dark ages when we needed silver to develop pictures.
At this time, we're probably not going to be looking at developing a lower cost Series as a new model, I've got other plans for my dad's engineering schedule. Any dreaming about this exact design becoming a reality will have to wait until at least next February - doesn't that sound far away? It will creep up on us faster than any of us think.
Superfilters were originally only installed on instruments. Fitting all that stuff in there is grossly expensive, and many of the components had to be handmade by my dad. We figured a rackmounted unit would be more flexible, and we could use mostly off the shelf parts to cut the price by 2/3 what it runs to get it in a bass or guitar. We would still do it if someone really wanted it, but it's soooooo much cheaper to get the rackmounted unti, plus you can use it with all your instruments.
