I got one for cheap. I never used it yet and don't know. I am interested if its OK though.

Not so much noisey but cheaply constructed.
Rec'd one free from Sam Ash(w. a purchase of a $100 or more)
last year and basically use it for 3 c/d recorders, tape deck,sampler & drum machine. The unit is unbalanced and houses a topside 4-selector mode switches for each channel.
I never use it for multi-track patching or insert-patching of dynamic/efx processors, just simple, 2 track equipment.

thanks...how do you clean and how often?

i have one of those dust off cans is that good enough?

sweet water has them for 39.99 1 dollar per input...not bad if it doesn't fuck up my sound....

It's not balanced. I don't see any need for a patchbay that is not balanced. Even if it does have the admittedly cool switches for normal, half normal, etc ...

I believe that if you connect a non balanced device to a balanced patch bay that you unbalance the entire patchbay. Is this true ?

No.
