Funtionless devices to appease clients

There used to be a company that made these rack mountable devices that had lights and knobs but did nothing. Their use was to appease customers who kept insisting on incrementel adjustments that made little to no difference in the outcome of a project. Does anyone remember the name of the company or any of their devices?

    That would be Funklogic.  Behringer gear and broken ART stuff also makes good rack filler but lacks the boutique appearance of the Funklogic stuff.
