I prefer to keep the funk in my music :)

I also never understood why some designers like to show off tubes
through little windows.  It's not like they are interesting to watch.
imho.

Anyway, I think that a 1U panel that was essentially half of the 2U
panel Richard Brewster used for his dual unit would work fine:

If one were to saw it in half, then drill the screw holes in each new
corner, that would work :)

The only modification I can think of at the moment would be a switch
(added to left side, between the pots like an MOTM 190 VCA) for
changing the grid bias.
