Would love if someone could do this the their twin peak filter too. It's 15hp and there's plenty of extra panel space where 1 hp could be trimmed off the sides to make it 14hp. Can anyone make this happen? I would defiantly pay someone to make one.

I would offer to but i don't have a twin peak to use for measurements. Unless by fluke you live near brighton.

If I sent you a scan of the panel could you work with that?

On second thought looking at the panel you might be better served emailing them directly to see if they can send you the cad designs for the original panel. Wouldn't want to get that joystick wrong.

I tried scanning mine to do measurements but it seemed to skew it slightly still, trusted using calipers more.

Thanks Klangbaukoeln! This gives me peace of mind for making sure everything is laid out correctly on the front panel.

Be careful, the mounting screw holes may not line up properly

From the originals, 2 or 4. From the updated, 1 or 3.

Good work though, any of these would look pretty cool and retro. :yay:

Did the same, but used a Doepfer gray blank.
And the sound is really awesome.

This may be interesting for you

So I have made some major changes to the design, going to be ordering in the new year. Changed to a black panel as I'm not sure how the gold will come out. I put the correct measurements in from Willie's original design but shifted everything over so it centres visually with the white tipped mutable style knobs I'm using for it (rogan 2ps).

Only two choices now remaining now, greyscale or colour:

In that case i would say go for black n white, its clearer and the details come out better imo.
So is there a possibility of making a group order? Id really like to get one of these and i imagine one group order is gonna end up coming in cheaper for each one of us.

If other people are up for panels that would be great. If we get 5 or more the prices drop. I will say that the price has been the main delay in this, but I have enjoyed designing it so much it would be a shame not to do it. Atm the price is coming in at €36.00 for an individual panel incl VAT. That is a lot of money for 1hp.
