Re: FreqSHift Knob

Well..    seeing how there are both coarse AND fine tune knobs already 
present, I really see no need for the larger scale knobs...  Having them 
would indicate that for some reason, super fine tuning your frequencyshifter 
is more vital than.. say..  fine tuning your osc freq.  Im not in favor of 
adding stuff just for the heck of it, or to pay homage to an old design or 
anything.  Plus, unless you go with the big big big bode style knob, then the 
visual impact definitely wont be the same, it will just look a little bigger, 
which really doesnt give much impact at all.   I think panel graphics inspire 
more visual interest and really draw people in to read and ogle over the fine 
technical print.  
  Unless the design was revamped to just have one tune control (ie no fine 
tune) I say keep it as close to the MOTM standard as possible in terms of 
knob/jack spacing/size.
