Pardon me. This isn’t exactly Drake. I just finished my first build from scratch. A tube bass guitar preamp. Since I love Drake gear, I decided to make it remotely resemble an AC4 or L4PS. Two

Brian Smith All Messages By This Member #56374 开云体育 Thanks! It was an endeavor but I’m pleased with how it turned out. Despite all my messy wiring inside, it’s very quiet noise wise?

Brian Smith All Messages By This Member #56376 开云体育 I used Inkscape software. It’s free. There’s a free knob scale plugin for it. Saved that to a .SVG file and emailed it to a local print shop.

n4buq All Messages By This Member #56377 So is that a wet decal or did you use a separate adhesive? It certainly looks nice. I've known folks who can use a Leroy lettering tool to do things like that with ink but I don't have one of those (used one a LOT back in the day) and not sure if I would want to take that much time and effort anymore.

Steve Bookout, NR4M All Messages By This Member #56378 开云体育 You should have labeled the gain knob to go to ‘11’. It would make louder! Seriously thanks for the tip on the labeling.?
