Here's a recent video posted by Rhett Shull in which he's exploring the use of Eurorack modules for novel guitar effects:

Pretty awesome system.
Unfortunately nothing I could use , but amazes at all the creativity

Check out the SynQuaNon YouTube channel for a new demo series by Eleanor Fontaine.  Here's the intro:



By the way, this particular demo system has a 19-pin Input Breakout module - however, a 13-pin (GK) Input Breakout module is also available.

Now all you need is the front end hex osc like in the GR300 with 6 CV in like you're doing.  Turn the guitar string into a different waveform and or with the added fuzz waveform.

You already have the filter, VCA and evelopes ×6.

Add A few other hex modules like ring modular.

A true poly analog guitar synth.

I like what your doing.

Have you ever seen a switching module that could be placed between the power supply and the modules themselves to turn on and off individual modules?

Perhaps 1U rack mounted with a series of toggle switches.

Hey Chris!

Turning the power on and off is not likely good for module health and would send surges through other modules.

There are alternatives: a) Multi-channel mute with or without CV control, and b) SynQuaNon Hex Bypass with Master control (manual and CV control).  The latter works like a true bypass for guitar pedals.

Interesting. Is that why design/builders don't put on off switches on the modules themselves, i.e. power surges because they are all hooked into the same power supply board?

Just hate to leave modules that are all hooked into the same power supply on when not using them.

Should not be a problem as long as the power supply is sized correctly.
