Late to the party, but I would go for
- 5 buttons/three rows (I like the smaller size),
- bank buttons right (right's my better "switching foot")
- FX on bottom (usually would switch these on/off more often than rigs during playing, rig changes usually only inbetween songs)

Quoted from "ckemper"

I want to add a simple "Master Boost" parameter for every stomp box in the STOMPS section (You wouldn't need this in the EFFECTS section).
This lets the output volume boost whenever this stomp is engaged.
It will save an additional boost effect in the effect section.

For me that sounds awesome. A way to boost the volume post amp without the need to waste one of the effects blocks, that's like giving me one additional effects block. Great! :thumbup:

What about connecting an exp pedal as volume and use the volume post fx (rig menu)?

That's what I already have. But a volume pedal is more to find a certain volume for a whole song or a sequence of similar songs. I don't use the pedal for short boosts. That would drive the FOH people crazy...when they found a balance of the signals that works, they don't like someone always changing his basic volume. A static boostlevel and something to switch on and off instead of finding the position again and again is far easier to use. Imho, ymmv.

Quoted from "ckemper"

Many of you choose the 6 buttons per row. Is this because you want the bank buttons closer?

In my case yes. The question is how the bank buttons will work.
E.G. if you're on preset 2C and you press "bank up" will you get to 3C automatically or will it get you into some kind of "browse mode" where you then have to choose the preset of the bank you just selected? (thats the way the line6 stuff works)

The latter: you have to press a rig button to activate a bank.
In Performance Mode (yet to come) which is a song mode, I could think of a preference that the first rig of the new bank is selected, when you press a bank button.

I think if this was a switchable feature it would be really cool, since peoples preferences are probably different here.
