Muff's Modules & More

This is kind of a random question, but... Does anyone know why some of the Cwejman modules are the same eggshell color as the new version of the S1 mk2, while others are the older military green? Will they be changing the front panels on all the modules to the off-white color? (If so, I guarantee that someone will claim that "the green ones sound better"!!).

I would like to bump this... I have been wondering for quite some time what the significance of the color difference is.

Good Q OP

There's been some discussion about this on the Cwejman forum:

But no comment on this from Wowa, so I don't really know the answer...

Cheers

Maybe Wowa's trolling his fans?........... Mr. Green

All Cwejman modules pre early 2010 are Dark Green, and so far those that were originally produced in Dark Green have, over subsequent production runs remained in Dark Green.

The CRV-24 and CTG-VC were (and still are) shown on cwejman.net as being in Dark Green, but when they were finally released - just after the BLD, MMF-6 and RG-6 (all of which have only ever been in Eggshell White) - they were also in Eggshell White.

So currently all modules, except the BLD, MMF-6, RG-6, CTG-VC and CRV-24, have only ever been available in Dark Green and are still produced in Dark Green, and these five exceptions have only ever been available in Eggshell White.

The S1MkII is the only Cwejman product to have been updated from Dark Green to Eggshell White.

Why the change? Old posts on here suggest it was for a love of the sleek Modcan B look.

Are there quite a few Cwejman owners who would like Dark Green replacement panels for their BLD, MMF-6, RG-6, CTG-VC and CRV-24's - yup, but no word from the man yet if this will ever happen - feel free to bump/add name to list here

i quite prefer the dark green/battleship grey panels to the creme ones, but its whats behind the panel that really makes these modules great.

Now if someone were to do a run of Cwejman replacement panels with MakeNoise style artwork i'd be the first in line!

I think we should boycott the purchase of his modules until he gives us an answer. . . Oh , what's that you say? It would be futile because they are never available anyway Dead Banana

My cwejman modules don't look green at all. They're definitely gray.

...I hate to break it to you, but you might be slightly colorblind then, my friend.

My Cwejman modules come in three colors.

Dark / Military Green
White
"Eggshell" White (kind of a yellow-ish creamy color?)

My RG-6 is the only one that looks completely different than the more normal green and eggshell modules. So odd.

Another vote here for the battleship gray/green. I'm thinking about getting an S1 and I would have probably gotten a new one already if they weren't eggshell white. I think they are/were some of the best looking modules around, it just doesn't get much better than this in the aesthetics department:

I'm with ya - totally can't bring myself to buy the yellow/white modules like the BLD. I appreciate individuality, but that colour scheme is outside my design comfort zone. Alternate panels would be a wonderful option.

By the way, according to my critical eyes, the gray panels are indeed within the definition of 'gray', but will reflect a slight green tint in mixed lighting. It was a HUGE relief to see they weren't the green indicated in the original illustrations on his site.

Is the paint on the egg-shell panels any more resilient to scratching? I only have a couple of grey/green ones but it strikes me as odd that the powder-coated finish of premium modules such as these comes off so easy.. especially with the military-spec connotations and all that.. seriously, i just don't get it

If anybody's really interested in gray-green replacement panels for the newer white modules, send me a PM. I might be able to get this going. From what I can tell there are five "white" (off-white/eggshell/cream/whatever) modules:

BLD
CTG-VC
MMF-2
MMF-6
RG-6

Powdercoating and silkscreening just a few panels is expensive, so this only make sense if there's enough volume. So send me a PM and I'll figure out how much interest there is and get a price quote.
