For this I don't need a silkscreened panel.

Yeah, for this I don't need any of your frontpanels/kits anyway. ;-)

No, because the Warp633 has way more features and needs a full front 
panel.

It is still not labelled for the ring mod and completely somewhere else.

That is not the matter. At one time I may need the one input and at 
another time
maybe the other.
I will not resolder the jacks each time I need them. ;-)

Maybe other people are thinking the same as I do:
The ring mod makes no sense there.

If I didn't know this I wouldn't be a member of this mailing group. ;-)
I already started a design in 2 TE .com format. But I would prefer your 
design
without the two ring mod jacks.

That is really good because I have buyed many Ken Stone PCBs. :-D
