Of course it's possible and some companies do. But generally if they do the=

some noise=2C there will be some kind of analogue compression on overdriven=

 signals (rather than digital distortion of integer math or infinite headro=

om of floating point math) but the main difference will be it's a channel s=

trip and the sound of the EQ and Dynamics (compressor) which are included i=

n the channel strip=2C rather than the summing involved.
