Right, a shrunk (to fit on 1 page) layout is in the files section.
This is a simple design, and the 'ills have not worked their magic on
it, but it gives an idea of where I'm headed.

I initially had the LEDs across the top, like the Milton, but moved
them just to be different. I'm not sure I like it.
The only design considerations were to fit as much as reasonably
possible into the panel, be consistent with the Milton spacing (since
true MOTM would be huge), and put jacks on the bottom. I prefer jacks
on the bottom, to avoid having to squish my big mitts in between plugs
to turn a knob or flip a switch.
