I want to punch out the holes in a blank 8x17x2.5 that i have to make a rocket reverb wreck. Is there any document for the rocket that i can use to capture what the physical measurements are? If there isnt a doc maybe I can contribute one to the project.
Also in looking at the normster rocket reverb pics (forgive me if im mistaken here) but it looks like his chassis is bigger than a 8x17x2

Re: Rocket chassis punch dimensions
I used normsters layout and just printed to 11x17 and it was perfectly laid out real size. Move the rectifier tube over about three quarters of an inch if you use that document. It is too close to the transformers and there is space for it to be centered. It will fit the way it is though. Dont forget to mount your transformers in to allow for the front panel

thanks for the link. I tell the darn printer to do full scale but still prints it reduced. I still may draft a dwg to punch out the chassis.

Re: Rocket chassis punch dimensions
See if you can change the paper size to ledger then fit to page. We bought a big printer for my wifes graphic design and it prints 11 x 17 so I was able to print the layout the exact size of the chassis. If you can do that it really will help with your design. I was glad I finally figured out a way to benefit from that stinkin $300 printer!

Re: Rocket chassis punch dimensions
I have a preliminary drawing of the chassis size and the panel faceplate (pgs1+2). Can someone tell me how off i am in the sizing of the pots and panel components?
