RE: [motm] FFB options

Definitely a) for me.
 
Just outta curiosity, though, has the following observation crossed anyone
else's mind: FFB has 11 pots, two for the high-/low-pass filters. With the
same number of pots (and panel space), you could built an EQ module with
high/low shelving bands and three fully parametric bands (each with three
knobs for frequency, bandwidth, and gain).
 
Personally I think such a module would be more useful than a bank of
fixed-frequency filters, although I realize that they're two different
animals and the FFB has more of a "classic" appeal.

For those interested in the Fixed Filter Bank, would you prefer:

a) buy boards, front panel and pots "a la cart" (MOTM 2.0 style)

b) buy it all assembled, with the same pots but in SMT

The delivery times would be the same. Cost-wise, assume $100
more for the fully assembled.

Note that this module has a LOT of parts, probably close to 250.
