My Building Plans: Comment and suggest...

[asgorath]

I'm leaning toward using the mauro Penasa version as previously suggested. Seems like a nice setup and for toppers the PCB has already been designed and tested. piece of cake.

That means I just need to design the logic portions now. :-) I just ordered a bunch of copper clad (2 and 1 sided) off ebay so PCB's will be sure to follow.

another ideas for the backlighting would be like this....

take the face. Cut a circular hole...say 3/4" diameter. Now cut a piece of circular lucite 3/4" diameter. Now drill a hole 1/4" diameter for the shaft of the pot to fit through. Put LED's shining on the lucite and it should diffuse everything quite nicely...plus you could bring out that shaft of lucite a bit to help throw the light out a bit too.

I'll just make my own PCB, I already own some of the parts, and I need to make an order to the suppliers for other things anyways.

I'm really looking forward to this and have put alot of thought into it. I think you guys will be impressed with my first gainclone.
