Thanks to Matamp

I now have my own custom faceplate for my GT200.

I'm not going to try and install it myself as it will require removing the transformers to get at some of the mounting screws. I'll leave it to my tech to put it all together.

The light was cool and all and it certainly drew lots of attention but I think this is a little more "classic". Initially wanted it in the CinemaScope logo but they were not able to do that. This was my second choice.

I'm not super familiar with Matamp aesthetics... Will the "Monobrow" be backlit similar to your Green amp?

No, no light on this one. I suppose I could have done that but I went for a more vintage look.

No backlight on this one. I did keep the light though, so that can be an option in the future...
