Can't do much of that with laser engraving, it basically either cuts through the anodizing and puts a white frosted appearance on the aluminum, or it doesn't go through the anodizing at all.

Here is an example with the hash marks from the Blue Hawaii SE re-scaled for a larger 2" knob (they could be shrunk a bit which id probably do if this is used)

I like that! Less busy, fewer markings, and easier to re-set to a particular previous volume level.

I had that hash mark artwork made in 2002 or 2003

Today ChatGPT can generate all of the coordinates in a few seconds

I personally prefer the christmas lights markings and their "precise uniformity" over the sunburst lines but I'd be happy with either

 

[rwelles]

I'd prefer the top black version, though scaled back hash marks would be nice.

Black, hash marks, white line on volume, all caps, don't care about size.

Basically your original idea but with a black front panel, and easier to read volume indicator.

In the end, I like both, it's just nit picking at this point.

Before laser engraving any more front panels or knobs, I wanted to present 2 possible options for the front panel/knob. Which style do you like best, or perhaps something else?

Differences include:
- markings around the front panel for the volume
- markings on the knob
- all caps vs first letter capitalized on Gilmore Current Mirror Headphone Amp
- Switch functions slightly smaller font in top version, but the names of the switches stays as the larger font (Top panel)

Note also that the top panel is black, the bottom panel is gray (in some light people always comment it looks purple and it's more common when taking photos). Right now we are only offering the black but other colors are going to come.

I am interested to see more of the coming color options for this amp. For now I am highly interested of the¨Golden¨version as I have seen from photos of different parts.
Do you think this option will be shipped after summer?

 

[Benke]

This is the¨Golden¨option as I see it. Or is it¨Silver¨?

That looks like it might be his "gray" option. I'm wondering if his future color options may be in the more vibrant shades, like his other amps (GS and BH)?

This is black
The gray is purple
It's all iPhone photography

red light under the cfa3 looks coolio

 

[rwelles]

I REALLY like the idea of purple. Will it be available at release?? Can you post a color-corrected image?

Also, will you still offer the plexy bottom to pre-orders?

And Also, what will the stock feet look like???

 

[justin w.]

Yes, here is the clear bottom panel and the ‘glass slipper’ feet. I also found some black thumb screws to make the clear bottom easily swappable

A final piece - working on this design for a retro style transformer cover

 

[Benke]

I like a color in yellow/gold on the panels for example something like this. I really hope this could be possible.

 

[justin w.]

What i think is the final design..
I filled in the machined lettering with metallic paint and really like how it came out. I can do any color / combination someone wants, at least for now
