Funnily enough, I've always thought that a wet/dry mix was a feature 
more typical of lower-end processors. That's because when I started 
using signal processors as performance instruments the high-end units 
were designed to be fed from an auxiliary send and then returned to 
the consol for mixing. As I recall, it was only later that the design 
of the cheaper performance-oriented processors started to influence 
the "pro" devices and wet/dry mix started showing up as an option.
