 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].
