MTX8 from Future Sound Systems is an analog switch or routing matrix for audio and control voltage. It has 8 inputs and 8 outputs, there’s a version with a tube screamer like pre-amp on input 1, and you use pins to route the inputs to the outputs.

In this video, I take a look at how it works, what makes it special and a few patch ideas, as well how it compares to other routing solutions available on the market:
