Re: Chassis and Panels for 18W Projects
Here's my revision of the weber chassis front panel dimensions if you want 7 pots instead of 6
(I was designing for a 2 channel TMB + MV but this would also work nicely for the 18W trem/TMB if you used the 2 pots between the input jacks for speed & intensity).

Re: Chassis and Panels for 18W Projects
I have no idea if I will do anything that close to the standard. Right now, I don't even know if I will offer more than this initial set. It really depends on the response once these sets are made.

Re: Chassis and Panels for 18W Projects
Well, I don't think this is going to happen until I find a new supplier. I heard from Carey today that he's gotten busier than he can handle, so he won't be doing the custom stuff anymore.
The only other company I know that I would use right now is expensive, and has setup fees, so that would require enough people interested to do a group buy. Otherwise, it's going to be a long while until I find a new supplier, and test their stuff out.
Thanks,
Josh

Re: Chassis and Panels for 18W Projects
Is this both chassis and faceplate? I'm currently looking at Mojotone blanks for $45 as a pretty good deal. Since I have punches can machine them it's a no-brainer. I had a local supplier quote $175 for a 5E3 style and walked. What's a decent price for faceplates? I had one made for my 5E3 and it was pricey but maybe for higher volume it would go down. http://www.precisiondesignin.com/control-panels.php - I found her one one of the amp sites...She did and excellent job her listed prices are about $30/panel + setup. She does have some Marshall style panels in her gallery.JMPGuitars wrote: ↑Tue 09/15/20 7:15 pmWell, I don't think this is going to happen until I find a new supplier.

Re: Chassis and Panels for 18W Projects
Setup fees are B.S. A good price is about $20 per panel for a panel with plenty going on. I think Carey might still be doing custom panels, just not custom chassis. I'll check eventually after I hear from him again. He's gotten slow in communication since he got too popular.lavrgs wrote: ↑Wed 09/16/20 1:15 pmIs this both chassis and faceplate?

I've done some panel designs on this, but haven't ordered any yet, slightly on the expensive side... https://www.frontpanelexpress.com/

Re: Chassis and Panels for 18W Projects
They're very expensive. More than double what I was paying for anything good.crgfrench wrote: ↑Wed 09/16/20 1:29 pmI've done some panel designs on this, but haven't ordered any yet, slightly on the expensive side... https://www.frontpanelexpress.com/
Though I did email that guy you mentioned in Canada.

Re: Chassis and Panels for 18W Projects
Tube Town is pretty good for custom plates.
I designed mine in powerpoint, copy-pasted them in an open source vector graphics editor, saved to pdf and voila! Arrived 2 weeks later
On the other hand, I am looking for someone to build 2 custom chassis for me (Fender slanted style). Any recommendations welcome please.
So far not much luck on my side but I have trouble believing there isn’t a person in the world able to do that for a reasonable cost

Re: Chassis and Panels for 18W Projects
€31 + shipping
I though the end result was really good (I will post pics of my 18W build soon)
I designed the faceplate in powerpoint, copy-pasted the shapes directly into inkscape and saved as a pdf - easy

Re: Chassis and Panels for 18W Projects
Any ideas of people able to create custom chassis?
There are a bunch of off the shelf, undrilled chassis available so mainly a matter of cutting holes...
thanks

Re: Chassis and Panels for 18W Projects
Good call, I've emailed the guy on reverb
Worst case I'll produce a simple CAD file for Tube-Town to produce
Cheers
