Re: [motm] Re: Frequency Shifter (improved layout idea)

My 2c:

  I like this.  Of course, you're adding cost to the product with more 
hardware.  The large initial frequency control ideally should be a 10-turn 
type, but I don't think they make those for PCB-mount.

  From a PCB design pov, I don't like the position of the Freq CV pot.  It 
upsets the already premium board real estate.  If this board is like the 
UEG's then the overall size is about 3"x6".  While Tony has the advantage 
of placing components on both sides, this narrow form factor really puts 
the squeeze on the balance between control ergonomics and PCB parts 
arrangement.  The best thing to do with this pot is line it up with the 
gain and fine shift controls.  This at least gives an unrestricted 
rectangle for parts in the center of the board.
