Ok, so I guess my take on it is..

Makes sense to put a mic pre and a balanced input together into a "nice" input 
module. We don't need a phono pre-amp, as that's always going to be in the DJ 
mixer.

The triple pre-amp will take care of interfacing anything unbalanced at line or 
instrument level.

Headphone belongs on the main output. That's just logical.

I'd like then to also see a second separate unbalanced output w/ attenuator on the 
output module. This could be used to:

1. form an effects loop w/ the pre-amp module
2. output MOTM into a guitar amp
3. interface to some other DI box you might prefer to use

So the output module would have 1 balanced out w/ attenuator, 1 unbalanced -10 
out w/ attenuator, and 1 headphone out w/ volume pot. And of course, the inputs to 
the three circuits would be normaled, but could be used separately too.
I think that would fit? Six jacks and three pots.

So that's 1 pre-amp, 1 input, and 1 output module. Anybody?

One last request. Any chance of getting a transformer on the balanced input? (Gasps 
all around. People freaking out. I'm hiding...)
