I like the idea of different size knobs/shapes for different functions. Any
smaller than the UEG knob size would be too small though, IMO. I wonder what
smaller sized knobs would do to the layout? To make it mesh visually, would
the pot spacing have to be changed for a module that had groupings of smaller
knobs?

What about Stooge panels made with the edge markings? Maybe a couple of
thoughtfully-placed modules with edge marked Stooge panels would help with
this.
As far as other ideas... Since the 2U modules often have mixer inputs with
matching level pots, how about an outline (like the switches have) around the
level pots? Come to think of it, how about an outline around all pots that
have similar functions on the 2U modules? Looking at my 420 filter, possible
knob outline groupings could be [Freq / Res], [FM1 / FM2], [In1 / In2 / In3].
(anxiously awaiting my newly-placed MOTM order. :P )
