Title: Who makes aluminum anodized amp face plates?
Post by: leftu2 on July 10, 2020, 11:42:54 am

Anybody doing these? I emailed and called the guy at juicy amps but haven't gotten a response.
I know there are several doing plastic ones but I want metal. I built a jcm 800 in a princeton
chassis and want the aesthetics to resemble a marshall.

You can try to do it yourself, I plan on doing it soon. I do have a CNC that I will be using to etch in the writing after the anodizing but the anodizing seems to be a pretty simple process for a DIY-er.
