In all the controversy no one seemed tonotice that cut/boost knobs should be labeled -5 to +5, not 0 to 10.

 

Also, since any of the options seem tohave some jack space left, it would be REALLY nice to have at least one extraout.  This can save on patching and mults, especially if you’re putting this inside afeedback loop.

Well since almost everyone else has spoken their piece on this, I willenter
mine.

1.  Actually, any layout is fine, as mosthave said, it is about the sound.
Having said that, I do have some preferences.

2.  I do not like the knobs that are so lowon the panel.  I guess I would
not mind so much if the panel was crammedfull.  But, it is not.  I would
prefer that no knob is lower than what can have atleast one jack under it.
I would rather use some of the space "offboard" space where the EQ I/O
switch is for a couple of the knobs / controls.

3. Since the Low and High controls are different(more shelving) and I
understand it, they are the two that make sense tomove into Column 3.  One
in row  1 and one in row 4.  The spacebetween Low and High can have switch
and LED.

4.  I like keeping pots on the board. But having only 2 of 10 off the board
does not seem bad to me.
