    Thanks for the kind words Tom. Yea that is another edge lit panel. It seems to be catching on. Everyone is really digging the look. I was actually thinking about getting a sand blaster table and start offering the etched panels. People could then personalize their amps.

      Cool!
      Do you have photos of the lit up panel posted anywhere?

        Lit Panel Pic

        Here you go. I think I need to go with black shields on the pre's. The silver shields make the etching look blurry in the pic. Although on stage the silver shields may look better. Either way I am stoked with the results. Too bad an amp like this takes close to 100 hours to make. It is fun to do and show people the final amp.

        The pic is blurry. I will get a better pic with no flash so we can see the lit panel better.

          To avoid blurry pictures take a new one with the camera firmly sitting on a couple books on the table, natural light (no flash).

            Here's a slightly better picture from my phone. When we take nice pictures of this, I would like to try to use my circular polarizer filter, as it should eliminate some of the glare.
