Hi John,

That's why I didn't want numbers in the first place, BUT, people seem to
like them for documentation reasons. However, since I don't like numbers on
the little knobs, I wonder how useful it is to have numbers on the big knob.
If people like just because of the 'look' then so be it.

One interesting thing about this FS, is the Shift amt is uP controlled, and
I can scale that knob to anything I want. I can even adjust the curve of the
knob, so if some people don't like the range/response or have a different
need, it is possible to change it. Having fixed calibrated numbers would
prevent that.

The numbers don't make a lot of sense unless they're calibrated, even
roughly, to the frequency shift of the unit at each position.  Look at the
Bode shifter for reference.
