Amp switcher: relays array design

Project overview: https://fosstodon.org/@awai/114110547162586997
As I mentioned previously, I intend to design a single board for both the input and ouput switching sections.
I had initially planned to have only the jacks (and associated relays/circuitry) going to/from the amp on the board; then I wanted to add the speaker out jack, and maybe also a buffer, and make it optional, and... Well, you get the idea

Happy Tuesday! Here's a short vid of highlights from when Maggie Speaks played with the singer from Boston, Tommy DeCarlo. Featuring yours truly on guitar, and video edited by the same!
Sometimes an album really grabs me, becoming one of my favourites, but I never take the time to tour their whole discography. Not even once per album.
This is the case with the Meat Puppets. I discovered the 1994 album Too High to Die a year or two after release, and still listen to it today;

♬ More Junior Brown…
As I said, I am NOT a fan of country music, but I do love what Junior does with this hybrid guitar/steel guitar. He’s been described as “the Jimi Hendrix of beer drinkin’ music.”

I am NOT a fan of country music, but I do love steel guitar. And this guy, wow. He’s been described as “the Jimi Hendrix of beer drinkin’ music.” This one’s cute. Some of his other stuff, hot damn! Hit guitar work.
It's that time again where my brain needs a new, different project
But first, a bit of background story: I've been playing music, and mostly guitar, for over 3 decades now. Being quite a nerd, at some point I started looking into guitar-related electronics, and eventually fell down the "tube amplifiers" rabbit hole.
I grew passionate about tube amps and even built my own; most were sold over the years but I still have a few, and recently bought a couple new ones.

Got my new original song “unstable” up tonight. Angst driven fast aggressive tune. Sign of the times. #music #rock #guitar #recording #OriginalMusicTracks https://youtu.be/aLbytFqUO94
Got my new song “unstable” uploaded. Emotionally charged sign of the times. Had to release some of that angst. Freaky stuff going on. #music #guitar #recording #audio #cptsd #mentalhealth #politics https://youtu.be/8HtTKaK9jYM?si=SxWL7Dro6NUDnZCi
Guitar amp: I can highly recommend this bad boy. Yikes the sound is huge, yet crisp, yet clear. It works amazingly well for 7+ stringed (and/or downtuned) guitars.
I’m not in to Black Metal (I have no idea about the bands in the preset list) but dang they can tune the knobs of an amp for sure, there’s loads of usable guitar tones that at least I didn’t connect to that genre.
