I have nothing against the small-knob layout, but the rotary switch causes the problem there, not only behind the panel, but for the silkscreen legending. 

Another possibility -- a "Spread" control like the "Divergence" control in the Cyndustries module. I'd just implement it with a dual-gang pot, so we wouldn't have to add any circuitry. I wonder how she did the Series/ Parallel control. I assume she used the same PCB, right? Probably she did it passively. Anyone know?

I don't like either. It definitely can and should be a 2u design. Use small knobs. Personally I don't have any attachment to the motm knob grid - modules that go off the grid make the modular easier to use IMHO - easier to find the appropriate knob while tweaking. The only design elements that I find unchangeable is the jack grid at the bottom and a black background (sorry modcan) - again, just MHO. 

Sorry. Conserving space in my modular is a major concern of mine. Even though I have 4x24u to work with here, it's going to fill up, and I don't really have room after that. I've taken quite a few things that used to be 2u and made them 1u.
