I have the original Aura acoustic imaging blender and it has a similar setup. For each sound image you have a choice of nine different dry pickup/sound image blends: 100/0, 87.5/12.5, 75/25, 62.5/37.5, 50/50, 37.5/62.5, 25/75, 12.5/87.5 and 0/100.
PS. On the subject of the original acoustic imaging blender, its interesting to note that its similar to the Optima Air in that it has five sound images (IRs) which were created using mag pickups. They hadn't yet decided to discourage the use of mag pickups with Aura technology back then.

Gary, I had the original Aura Blender and always heard it as sounding the best of any of the Aura devices. I now have an Aura Spectrum DI and a ToneDexter that I never use. I now prefer to use only pickup/preamp systems along with some EQ here and there, and I prefer the amplified tone without using other enhancements. I now only play at home so my experiences may not be that of other players.
