I was wondering how difficult it might be to add a wet/dry mix feature to the output of the GSSL stereo compressor so that one could achieve parallel compression without having to deal with the hassles of a patchbay and hooking up extra cabling. In other words there would be a control that allows you to blend the dry uncompressed signal with the compressed output of the compressor. I'm thinking that you could probably make this passive since the loss from mixing two signals is not really that big a deal especially when dealing with a hybrid digital/analog setup. In my mind that's just added headroom and I don't have to worry as much about clipping the A/D converters on the way back into the computer. Having a slight loss also allows me to drive the output transformers I added to my GSSL a little harder as well.

That idea requires a few more parts. Is there a way to do this passively?
