I really, really like the HM2 one. Nicely executed graphics, coupled with very tasteful slight foxing to it. (More relic'ing would have overstated the case, here.)

The lighthouse ones look really good too! What enclosures are they?

They all look fantastic mate, i'd be curious to know how you did the 2 tone powdercoating. Are they etched first, then powdercoated twice with the different colours, or are they powdercoated, laser etched then the colour filled in, however you do it, they look great  :)

Yeah, they are acid etched first. For the Rocket Reverb there's first a coat of green, then the top is sanded, and then I finish of with a coat of candy gold.

All of them look great as usual, Nico.  The Old Fashioned Heavy Metal particularly stands out to me.

great work, but I'm  curios with the grafics, letters, to be specific, woh can you make  those 2 different colours in an small area like  knobs leters.

Cool! Glad to see another build of this one - I really need to do a 125B layout for the HM2 next

Really nice work!

Well you get that with the candy colors, they are transparent. When you finish off a regular etch with a candy color you will get the two tones. In this case (Rocket reverb) the green stays green under the candy gold, but the areas of raw aluminum becomes golden yellow.

Really nice work!
Jeremy, thanks for the great layout.. I was making a layout of my own but I messed up somewhere so when I did see your verified board
I thought i'd give it a try. Good stuff :-).
I don't suppose you can share your eagle schematic so I can see where I'd go wrong? I would be really thankfull!
