Faceplate / badge / logo / name-plate

Post by jessetrbo »

Greetings... I built an 18watt from scratch, but purchased a cabinet from Mojotone and I have to say, it looks great, but it's missing something: a faceplate / logo / badge / name-plate.

I will put my surname there, a not-so-subtle nod to Marshall. What size are the Marshall logos on the original (and reissue ) amps?? That is, if you were to fit the logo into a rectangle (width, height).

I plan to have a local trophy shop make a plate for me and can't decide on the size of plate to use...

Thanks in advance,
--Jesse

There are some drawings of faceplates in the downloads section here. You may find enough information to get started sizing your plate.

I have a guy that does my 3D printed logos and lasercut/engravement of faceplates. But I'm from Belgium

Easy enough to find people like that. Just respond to advertisements of people that sell 3D printers 2nd hand

Thanks, Davie Dawg... I did a search, but that eluded me. Much obliged.

Davie Dawg, I think that '"faceplate" is not what I'm looking for... The Downloads section seems to cover everything else, but what I'm after.

I need the basic dimensions of the 'Marshall' logo that would be attached to the front of the amp. I'll use a slightly different aesthetic (rectangular engraved name plate), but I'd like to keep the physical proportions similar to the original amps.

Could anybody make a quick height x width measurement of the nameplate or logo that you used on your 18watt?? Better yet, if you have an original, could you measure?

Thanx. The guy I built it for is raving about it. Every week I receive a message from him of how exciting it is to play it.
It's a 1 watt JTM145 kinda clone
