[Empeg-technical] Re: Possible alternate source for VFD

[Hugo Fiennes]

Ooo-err. Hadn't heard that (I didn't do a lot of catching up whilst I was away).

A J may well fit, but you would probably require some creative bending of the legs in order to get the display to both connect electrically and also clear the chips underneath it. YMMV.

Electrically, they're identical. Physically, I think the nipple clears the rotary just as much as it does on the normal product except above the control as opposed to below it.

Hmmm. Come to think of it, Patrick could do an alternate display board - maybe a few more buttons, more snazzy illumination options, -J display support, etc. That'd be cute.
