2 power switches?
Also, when you put the text above the volume, it might be hard to see it when looking at a specific angle. Also, it will make the center a bit too 'busy'. Bringing the text to the opposite side of the jacks will make the panel more balanced. Just take a look at what Justin did with his GS-X2 or BHSE.

Not 100% identical but with the same feel. I think I'm pretty satisfied.

Some more designing...


Waiting from Lil' Knight's boards. Until then... I can always dream away to the finished build with some chassi work.

Too busy front panel. At least for my taste.

I'm thinking of putting the speaker terminals in the back, however, the idea with putting them in the front was to avoid unecessary switches (i.e. headphone/speakers), but maybe... better to have a lever with 1 = 4-pin XLR / 2 = 2x3pin XLR / 3 = speakers...

If you use those combination 3-pin XLR/1/4" headphone connector jacks (see new GS-X) you won't need separate 1/4" jacks.

Though personally if it's an amp for my own use I would do away with all of those and only have a 4-pin XLR connector... dual 3-pin XLR is archaic :)

Hi mate!


I might as well install the Neutrik 2x3's too. Who know's. Better safe than (using a butt-ugly converter).


Those aren't 1/4" TRS jacks, but Speaker Terminals. The idea with having everything in front is Thus avoiding to forget e.g. speakers plugged in (in the back) when powering up and thus avoiding delay relay's and such. But maybe RudeWolf is right. Too busy in the front?


I'll have to give it some more thought. Anyways... At least a couple of weeks before it's time to order the enclosure, so no hurry.

Btw- are you thinking of using the Dynahi as a pre-amp?

Nope, as an integrated amp. The back will only have loop-outs, no pre-outs.

I want to have the possibility to drive high.efficiency speakers in the future (especially since I sold of all my speaker gear).


Since I'm going for a pretty hefty enclosure with chunky heatsinks, it should hold for about 10-15 W into a 8 Ohm load...

Scratch the above... A Dual-Ch Dynahi gives 18-19 Wrms before clipping. As such a Quad-Ch Dynamight should at least generate about 25, especially with dual PSU-boards and such. .... I think. ;)
