I'm assembling a new preamp, and there's something about it that makes me want to put my pinky finger in the air...

Oh, did you perhaps mean to say RedBoy... perhaps?

Well, the imagination can take this a few places. I know what I'm thinking but I'm going to keep it to myself.

Looks good, so far! :thmbsp:

I like the personalized "Redboy Audio" logo. Nicely done, nice touch.

Looking forward to seeing how it progresses and ends up.

Thanks Arkay. The logo seems a tad pretentious to me. I spent a long time deciding whether to do it or not, and I'm actually pretty happy with the overall look! I'll leave it hiding in the back corner, though.

nerp. But I may build more sometime. This is my first experience with Front Panel Express and it's opened up a world of possibilities!

Not cheap, though. Prepare to bleed money! ;-)

Been thinking about doing a get*set*go or maybe a scratch build and using them for the top plate CNC'ing and engraving. Hmmm.

Oh, I dunno. Why not do it?

A great many of us won't have our names engraved on anything except for a headstone. Rather morbid, but true.

FPE is Front Panel Express, for custom faceplates.

You are so right. Put it on the front, put on the music, grab your favorite audio enhancement accessory, and enjoy the tunes.
