Got it. In your opinion is it redundant to try to keep the reverb pot and still add a dry blend? I was hoping to be able to mix in dry after tweeking the REV + DWELL. This is why I was wondering if the D/B board was the way to go. I might be over thinking this...
Yes, it would be redundant. As is, it is essentially a blend pot, but can only go 50/50 in favor of wet at max. If you turn down the reverb knob, it's still a "wet/dry blend", it's just increasing the dry ratio. So having an actual wet/dry blend knob would be exactly the same as what you have now, if you never turn it up past noon. By having both a reverb level and wet/dry blend, you're just having a second knob to reduce the wet ratio. The only time you would want a separate "wet" volume level is if you had a separate dry volume level, i.e., two separate knobs, not a single wet/dry blend. Which would be another option for you - you could also just add a dry volume level and achieve the same goal.
The add on board is really meant for effects that have no dry signal already in the mix, e.g., distortions, fuzzes, overdrives, etc. Reverb, chorus, flange, delay, phase, etc., all intrinsically have a dry blend, whether you have control over it or not, so it's much easier to just add a passive crossfader to the existing circuit than to use the add on board.
