Ok everyone, I found a source for Neon Blue that will give the same effect that the Neon Red and Neon Green does.
The only thing is they don't usually sell to the public so I have to buy a full sheet.
In order for me to make this happen then I will have to have at least 15 confirmations to buy them otherwise it won't happen.
Especially since orders have dropped of to pretty much non existant. Everyone must have bought what they wanted already.
Anyone wishing to confirm to purchase when and if they end up happening, email to [email protected]

On a side note. The gels have finally been shipped and I should have them by the end of the week. They will be available as a $5 option on either the Smoke or Clear lenses. The Smoke lens is pretty cool with the gel since you don't see the color when the unit is off but still changes the display when it's on.
I will also be offering, for those of you that don't want to damage your lens with the Magic Marker Mod, lenses with a mask covering the same areas. Also a $5 option but on any lens.

Question... How well does the neon look work with the backlit buttons, and that additional mask(magic marker mod type) you offer? Do you still get the edge glow effect?

These are all upcoming. I am waiting on the template from Tony for the MMM mask so I don't have one made yet to test or even comment about when it comes to interaction. But I will take your question on it into consideration when I put final designs tweaks on it.

The Neon effect can be seen on the front page of my site which is linked in my sig and at the top of the BBS. The Neon effect primarily exists because of the backlit buttons.
There are none made of the Blue to give an example because it is not guaranteed to happen yet. But it will be similar in effect except it will be Blue.

Greetings!

I have already sent you email about the neon blue, but...

Are the MMM filters you are making attached to the lenses? Is this something where you could sell the filters to people who already have the lenses so that they could fit them themselves, or would they need to be adhered to the lens somehow?

- spoken like a person who has a small cache full of various coloured lenses that would need filters

They actually have to be adhered to the lens.

Hmm... Would you be willing to take existing lenses (yours and/or empeg's) and adhere the filter on as part of a service?

I've actually got to get to work at the moment.

Let me think about how I could work that. I'll post tonight.

I am waiting on the template from Tony

You don't actually need my template (although it's on the way), you can easily make it yourself just by measuring the components on the face and doing some fitting tests. As it stands, you'll probably need to do some trial-and-error work to get it working perfectly with your cutting system anyway.
