the meterbridge is to show the diff between in and output.
guitarix is a monoamp, so there is no diff between the two output
channels, except you move the balance slider, so one channel monitoring
is enough, I think. For easy useage we decide to start it connected
already.
Also the oscilloscope show only the right output channel.

To the font size, yea, I try to make it as small as possible, that's
true, may I go a little to small with it. I wont to save space in the
GUI for future includes. resonanz and vibrato, I make smaller because
the arrangement of the controllers.
So, okay, it's to small, we will rework it for a better view,
thanks for your feedback,

hermann
