I think this is a good idea.  I was planning on something along 
those lines myself, although I was thinking of something a little 
more elaborate with 4 to 8 buffers per board (2 chips)  I still have 
a Stooge Moe Expressionist panel to complete along with 6 or so 
other adaptations that need buffering.  I would try to come up with 
a scheme so that this could also be mounted on 1 or 2 jacks for 
those panels without pots.

Sheepish question: what is a buffer in this case and why would I add 
one to a project?  I know about inverters/attenuators/amplifiers, 
but not buffers...

Maybe you want to add an extra input or output to a module and buffering is
needed.  I think (someone correct me if I am wrong) that buffer is
generically used as a term to describe a unity gain amp.
