Crazy amount of stuff for a single board that size, looks great!

Wow j4cbo, such control and convenience in a DIY amp. The Uber-Controller and DynaFET build has come to light, congrats to the 5 very lucky people.

I have been following this thread for a while. I now have a contribution to make! This MiniMax is my very first build. My sincere thanks go out to TomB for the excellent service and instructions on his website!

I went with blue LEDs in the tube sockets, and an orange on/off light. Then I disconnected the tube lights for a nice warm subtle orange glow that (imo) complements the tubes nicely.

In the first pic, the BJTs are on backwards. Rookie mistake.

That pic made my jaw drop.

PScal, congrats on a very clean build - looks fab.

Anonanimal,
beautiful and yet dangerous/stealthy looking at the same time with the LEDs illuminated from the sides.

@ fishski- thanks!
@ PScal- great work on the amp, it looks awesome!
@ j4cbo- ... so yeah I was speechless on that one...

I designed them in Front Panel Designer and then sent them off to Front Panel Express. They did a great job and I'm happy with the experience. These are 3mm thick, so I had to do a bit of countersinking to ensure all the plugs would fit.

I work as a technical artist, so if anyone needs help in this area, let me know, I'd be happy to help.

I like the effect the countersink gives to it, very nicely done. FPE is great! Gotta love the gummy bears.
