Mark for legending it's a pretty easy matter to create a design using CAD software. This is my take on your resistance selector for LED's, also has a 10k resistor that can be switched in, in series so have 24 values to work with.

First, nice work!  Looks a whole lot better than mine!  :icon_lol:

Turned out, that once I factored in all the room needed to actually be able to turn knobs without  accidentally bumping others, I didn't have quite as much room as I thought I might.  Here's where I'm at so far.

I ended up with two groups of 6 and figured I'd use the remaining space for a 3-band semi-parametric EQ that could go before a distortion, after it, or even between two.  The left bank of 6 will have a half-dozen 2-knobbers.  The right bank will have three 2-knobbers, and another trio of 3-knobbers (a Big Muff, and 2 of either a 3-knob Tonebender, Foxx Tone Machine, TS-808, or Bluesbreaker).

As luck would have it, the white lettering I bought a few years agoat Al Lasher's in Berkeley fits perfectly inside the big black dots I bought at Radio Shack a decade ago when they were clearing out all their transfer stuff.

I figure between this and my Boss ROD-10 (5 distortion circuits plus EQ), I should have my bases covered.  Thought I still have some blank rack panels......
