Dunwich Railway 15 1x12 Combo
Mon May 12, 2014 1:45 pm
So here is the faceplate design for my Dunwich that Nick is building for me. He's ready to order and I thought I'd ask the forum their thoughts on a small aesthetic point that I'm at odds with. It's a minor tweak to the faceplate, and the two variations are below, as well as the backplate. Let me know which one you prefer. It makes no difference either way, it's just an aesthetic alteration I thought of making to Nick's original boss idea.
Basically, all I've done is move the position of the text to above the EQ1 and EQ2 switches, to better correspond with the two separate Bass and Treble tone stacks, one Baxandall and one FMV. You can select which EQ is active, turn both on at the same time, or turn both off for a more direct circuit path and a slight volume boost. Or we can leave the decals where they are, to the right of the respective switches. Or we could even add little indicator lines like the Master section has that point to the EQ1 and EQ2 above their relative switches. That idea is not pictured as I'd only botch it up.
Original design:
Tweaked EQ1/EQ2 decal position:
And the backplate for fun:
Thoughts?

I like the original design more, it just seems to flow better IMO.

Well that seems to make more sense, an on off switch and which knobs they go to. I like this the most.

Dang it. OK, I might just stick with the first one, then. I'll see if there is anything else I can think of.

Is the faceplate going to be laser etched, screened or decal?
Love seeing new dunwich work!
