God damn it, Gump! You're a god damn genius!

[Grahame]

Indeed

T2 image - Damn, everyone beat me to it - I really really really like it, a winner!

[Grahame]

Hmm, T2, Skynet edition has a ring about it

[n_maher]

get IpodBJ to do the logo.

He'll only ask for a free amp in return.

I think we have a winner...

That should get past you know who...

[n_maher]

I think the T2 deserves a lot better.

[swt61]

Indeed!

Show me what you got...

If you want something super simple like that, just pick out a font you like and you can give the printers (silkscreen? i have no idea) a vector of it from adobe illustrator.

You can literally just type into illustrator and click save. Just pick out a font you like and thats all there is to it.

I was planning on machining it into a chicklet.

(a 1 inch x 1 inch square made out of something interesting like pure silver)

with hands and powertools? Just free hand I guess then

Wouldn't this metal be more appropriate?...

[Grahame]

Mimetic polyalloy ?

Show me what you got...

I got nothing. But if I was going to put a logo on a labor of love like that I wouldn't put a smiley face. I'd think a simple T2 in some interesting font in raised letters would be much more appropriate.

[Knuckledragger]

I like the "hidden" Head-Case logo in the T-_-2 design. It's a nice tweak on the nose to certain other websites and amp manufacturers.

[grawk]

I'm all for tweaking noses, but maybe not involving an amp like the T2?

[kevin gilmore]

i'm going to import whatever i come up with and then machine it with the 3d mill

with a micro engraving bit. I showed an example a while ago...

[bozebuttons]

Great build Kevin.

I am looking forward to hearing it at Cj.

I think the amp should be named K2 for the man that made it happen.

[n_maher]

I had an idea for the chicklet, I think it would be cool if it was made to look like the original T2 faceplate.

Also the holes for the feet are #10. Should i ever get those rubber things from

You're the main man - hats off sir! Helluva job - how you find the time *and* hold down a 9 to 5 beats me!

[kevin gilmore]

i added an extra battery to the schematic, output a bom, multiplied everything by two

and this should be the right number of resistors and values

someone please verify.
