Guest Deeswift Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Oh shit, this will fit my 05 LTD, right? What kind of price is this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasquatch Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 damn, thats amazing! makes the 05 look not so crap any more! (controversial ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Deeswift Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 The 05 is still the best mixer, get off that Rane / Ecler / Stanton crap! And the 05 LTD is the dopest mixer created, you have to own one to know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasquatch Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 lol, i just think my hak320 is the nicest mixer i've used, prefer it to the 360 or the ttm56, and i dont like the clickiness of the vestax - to each his own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chester Posted February 15, 2005 Author Share Posted February 15, 2005 Yes this will fit your 05 Limited Q-bert. It looks like the price will be in the $50-$60 range.I am also planning on offering a conversion kit to put this plate on a regular 05. The kit will include headphone master/mute/cue switch and everything needed to change the position of the cue fader and get it away from the x-fader. peacec.c.

Guest Deeswift Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 What clickiness? Install a P&G and there's no clicking, well hardly any at all. Upfaders can be a bit clicky, but it's easily cured by fitting a small rubber washer onto the rail inside or something. I can't fault the layout of the 05, it's classic, and I like the no-frills approach. I'm using my girl's 07 Pro at the moment with a cheapass PCV fader, because my P&G fader stem broke after 3 years abuse. The 05 LTD kills the 07 in overall feel though, I can really notice a big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djdj Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Cool idea! Bit sparse on the design front. It will take more than a couple a red lines and a logo. Is there any chance to sell a kind of Stick-on-cover? That way you could produce thousands of designs a a tenth of the price. Otherwise, nice to see some innovation in these here part's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Deeswift Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Ideally the faceplate should be better than the original, but I don't think this is (just being honest). The yellow logo looks rough. I still want one though, I need to preserve my original plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dextrous Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 It's nice but if you want feedback - I don't like the radioactive logo. Also personally I reckon it would look better without any of the white writing like "pgm1" "pgm2" "level" etc. Just totally minimal with the red and black. I'd like to think that anyone who buys one knows what all the faders are for anyway. You're not gonna do an 06 version are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chester Posted February 15, 2005 Author Share Posted February 15, 2005 I wasn't going for anything over designed for this plate. I want it to have an original but updated feel. I don't want to make any stick-on crap. This plate will be very well produced. peace,c.c. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chester Posted February 15, 2005 Author Share Posted February 15, 2005 based on feedback I have changed the design a bit. Check it out. http://homepage.mac.com/mpilato/Brimstone-DJ/BP-Splash.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dextrous Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Yeah I like that logo better. If these are well made you definately should sell a few Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the radioactive logo, but maybe it's not the right colour? Whatever, a badge is good. I like my original LTD badge a lot. Also, I am not keen on how you moved the "05LTD" to above the LED display. The name isn't a central feature, so I preferred it how you had it before (top left). Anyone who's owned a Vestax mixer knows that the screen printed lines and text eventually come off and look like shit. I had to scrape mine off the original plate with a coin because after a few months it looked bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alkatrazz Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 yea if the radioactive color was like a black red combo that would be kinda sexy..... eventhough I dont have an 05 just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Deeswift Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Yep, red and black badge to match the mixer would be dope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chester Posted February 16, 2005 Author Share Posted February 16, 2005 I've updated the faceplate again. Check it out. http://homepage.mac.com/mpilato/Brimstone-DJ/BP-Splash.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alkatrazz Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 see now that looks much sexier, by the way what happen to your company logo? you should keep that on there somewhere so people know, you know? one last critic it would look ultra sexy if that radioactive sign wasnt so opaque and you got rid of the glare effect so it was solid. but just imo but looks nice cant wait till you do other mixers.... ehemmm the 56...

Clownstyle Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Looks nice. I would buy one but i dont own that mixer unfortunatly Any plans on making faceplates or mods for any other mixers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndhand Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 something nice and black for my ecler hak 310 would be nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check it out. http://homepage.mac.com/mpilato/Brimstone-DJ/BP-Splash.htm<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, it's better now, but also a shame that you had to change the badge colour to red. I guess it fits in better now but the design of the logo itself is better in yellow. Again, just my opinion on this. How do you design your stuff, in Photoshop? I know the finished plates would look a whole lot better than the designs you've shown here. Keep going man, this is good work you're doing cause there really needs to be decent quality replacement faceplates, especially for the more rare mixers like 05 LTD. I was trying to talk Vestax into making some reproductions of the originals back in '98, and they said they wouldn't be doing it because "then it wouldn't be a limited edition". My argument was that if you'd bought a rare car that you couldn't purchase new tires for you'd be pissed off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 something nice and black for my ecler hak 310 would be nice!<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Cant you just flip the faceplate? I did that on a 360 the other day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
