[PD] counter question

[Derek Holzer]

Of course, I'm referring to this classic counter structure, just in case 
it wasn't clear...

[metro]
|
[f]x[+ 1] (crossed patch cables)
|
[mod]

Where:

outlet of [f] connected to left/hot inlet of [+ 1]
outlet of [+ 1] connected to right/cold inlet of [f]

thx,
d.
