My new amp hotrod project

[SeraphimTN]

I had a vision today and I'm making it happen. I've already started as well! Now if you will look at the picture at the bottom.......Where the H and K emblem is on the head, that and the grill type thing behind that and the wood piece behind that....well I'm replacing it with plexiglass and lighting it up with electroluminescent wire and a computer cold cathode light, making it glow a bright blue! I have all I need to do it mwahaha. So it will look like a clear front(cept the knobs and that panel will stay the same) glowing blue with the H and K emblem on front of that. I will get it done pretty soon because I need my amp for the studio soon! Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Are you sure these additions won't add hum to your amp?

How could a cold cathode light do that?

Re: My new amp hotrod project

Wouldn't it have to be a neon light or similar to create hum?

And possibly fry his amp.

Re: My new amp hotrod project

Don't cold cathode lights require some sort of inverter etc? Will the inverter cause hum? Inverter usually means "AC voltage running either into or out of a transformer" to me. That spells 60 cycle hum to me. Maybe I've got it all wrong, but I'm just trying to be of assistance.

Neon lights would get hot, wouldn't they?

That's what I was talking about, not the cold cathode lights.

Ohhhhh, I gotcha. No, the cold cathodes are make to produce no to little hum.
