    Yep. Cabinet, circuitry, logo, everything, including the amp chassis itself - all made from scratch. (I have access to a sheet metal bender at work.)

    The logo on the front is an offcut of brushed stainless. I printed the logo in reverse on the back of some sticky back plastic, then cut it out with a really sharp Xacto knife. Stuck the logo on the stainless and hit it with a few coats of flat black.

    When it was completely dry (I allowed 24 hours) I peeled off the stick back plastic and voila... I was pretty pleased with the result. It was going to cost about $50 to get one cut on a CNC machine.
