Hey folks! Hope you're all well. I'm a little fried after last nights' launch and a full on couple of days, but glad it's all done. This has been the fastest selling batch to date, for which I'm very grateful to all that have ordered so far. Thank you!
So, what have I been up to? Well! For those that know me, I'm always tinkering and have several ideas on the go at any time! I've been playing with Reverse Print glow labels for several months now on my own board, and am really digging the look. I've been asked about them many times over the years, so thought I'd make them available as an option to everyone. I hope you like them too
They're clean and understated and blend in really well with the factory look. It took some tinkering to get them looking just right, and a little time to work out a viable process for making them, but that's all done now and I think they've worked out great. Here's everything you need to know!
- These are still part of my 'Modular Labels' system. The Text Labels, Tiles and Surrounds are all separate, all use Neodymium magnets for solid contact with the board and are all made of laser-cut 4mm thick non-reflective acrylic.
- Text Labels and Tiles will fit ANY of the Surrounds I make. So if you have an MFC as well, for example, the Text Labels and Tiles will work on that too - you just need different Surrounds, specifically for the MFC, to put them in.
- As with all my Text Labels, they're customisable with whatever text you want on them, and they glow in the dark (but note, due to simple physics, they cannot glow as brightly as the regular print glow labels)
- I have a new range of Reverse Print Tiles available too, as well as a Reverse Print F-Switch label set to complete the look.
- They mix GREAT with regular (non-reverse-print) labels, giving u a great way to give greater emphasis to certain switches (for my own board, I use regular print on the bottom row for scenes, and reverse print on the top for effects).
I'm also really glad to say I finally finished up the designs for the Axe Edit theme Tiles I first gave a sneak peak of last October! They're subtle, very understated with soft colouring and clean graphics, used with kind permission from the lovely Fractal Audio folk (thank u!).
And that's about it!

Anyway, enough jibber-jabber, here are a few more pics of my AX8, labelled up in various ways. Gonna crash now and catch up on sleep from last nights mayhem, and am on the road tomorrow with my real job, but will check back in whenever I'm able to. For more info, please check out
