Gain

Standard labels really… most grateful if somebody could advise me.

What sort of look are you after?

Jonathangus · July 2023

Rothko & Frost might be able to make you some waterslide decals (or get some waterslide paper and print your own).

Or get Modulus to make a complete panel.

Thanks @WezV = standard black capital letters please

Easy DIY options are a label maker, print your own waterslide decals or get some letraset stickers

More professional results will come from a nicely printed waterslide from someone like Rothko And Frost, or having the front panel engraved

To aid the decal supplier, this needs to be expressed in terms of typeface and point size.

Telling them the height of an upper case M or an N would probably suffice.

Michael at Modulus does ones that go up to 11, which is fun.

There are places that'll do you vinyl lettering if that'd work. I once used www.vinylletteringonline.co.uk and they made what I asked for.

I got a plate made off ebay for a pedal - can't find the seller now.

but this kind of thing.

Modulus can do you a full custom faceplate if you want to go all in, and it's not particularly expensive.

Jonathangus · July 2023

Slightly simpler than the one from @davros , but this is what Modulus did for my modded JMP. I downloaded LibreCAD, taught myself to use it, and sent him the design. Recommended.

Can the Marshall faceplate control knob labelling go up to eleven?

davros · July 2023

Absolutely! I designed it all myself and sent over the graphics file, but I believe Modulus can do that for you.

I have an amp build to do next month, so this is most timely and relevant!

Sporky · July 2023

I'd be tempted to have the volume go from 0 to 1.

Thank you for all your replies - I shall check out those links

Howdy, Stranger!
