Title: Greg's Custom SE-40 Tube Amp Faceplates
Post by: AluminatiSound on 15 Feb 2014, 11:41 pm

The original faceplates on the SE-40 amp are not the most attractive thing in audio (sadly most audio is boring….) and we think the new faceplates will add some serious character! Greg will post pictures of them installed in a few weeks.

Best,
Matt and Jas

Thanks Matt and Jas!

The amps are getting some additional mods and rewiring done by Gordon Maughan. Once I get them back and install their new faces, additional photos will be posted. They are gorgeous!

Very professional,  custom work. These guys are great!

Best,

Greg

Hi both of you and all Audio Circle members.
Is it 14 or 25 carats gold?
For 800USD, must be 1 carat gold plated. :lol:
