You are right, thank you for questioning that. Adding a Dry Amount parameter to Echo and Reverb would accomplish what I want. The trade-off with less magic behavior is that the user needs to have a deeper understanding of the signal flow and how changes in various knobs will affect the sound. After implementing support for saving and loading effect chain presets (Bug #1707961), we could assist users in learning how to use the effects by including a handful of default chain presets with Mixxx.

To clarify, are you proposing to add a switch to change the effect unit between:
* crossfading between dry and wet with mix knob (current behavior)
* 100% dry + wet amount controlled by mix knob

I think that together with adding a Dry Amount parameter to Echo and Reverb, that would accomplish what I want.
