MOTM

Hello,
 I think the FS knobs on both edges could be nudged in just a little.
I hope Paul doesn't mind, but I uploaded a .jpg to the MOTM
yahoogroups files section showing from left to right: a MOTM-300, FS,
and a UEG.  The file is called "300_FS_UEG_2.jpg".

 Also, I was playing around with adding lines to the FS panel to
visually group related functions. Not sure about them though..
