Laser engraved faceplate REDD 47 build

[ottosteer]

I thought I’d do something different for my REDD 47 build. Instead of doing a classic faceplate, I wanted to pay a tribute to the schematic by laser engraving it right on the faceplate and having knobs coincide with the symbols on the schematic. I have yet to find a spot for the output trim knob, rumble filter, phase and 48V toggle switches. Getting there! This one is called Blackbird 47

That looks fantastic! A great idea, and great execution. Bravo!

Gosh that looks nice.
nice enough to drag me out of a 15 year forum silence to comment on…
heheheh!
I’m pretty certain I was the first person to publish the REDD schematic online, back in the early 00’s…. i redrew it in MSPaint because I had a premonition about Copyright lawyers…. ;c)

anyways, fantastic job. Makes me want to make some new modules for my modular synth, strangely enough. Proper inspiring….
cheers!

At the same time the electronics are so minimal and bullet-proof. Love it.
