[sdiy] Synth-DIY breadboard Module...

[patchell]

    Didn't even think about toggle switches and leds (etc)...well, there is
room on the other side for another angle strip...

    I use the Xicon 24mm pots as well (best bang for the buck in my
opinion)...although, the 5/16" hole that use use sometimes bugs me, because if
I need to replace an old pot in an old project (that used 3/8" holes), they
don't fit well (I just put big washers on the panel...ugly, but it works).
