Barn3 aux switch type enclosure? - For Pitchfactor

[Faldoe]

I saw some pedal vids with people having these. I want to build one for my Pitchfactor. Anyone know of a vendor that sells similar skinny aluminum enclosures?

[Faldoe]

Anyone?

You really want that skinny aluminum enclosure?
Because you could build a 3-aux switch for $10 in parts in any shitty enclosure you may have around, like a chocolate box, or cookies.

The Digitech fs3x will do the job if you are lazy and don't want to spend more than $30.

Yeah, it's size and placement is genius. I think I might be able to buy a length of non-round electrical conduit and that would work. I was just wondering if a company made enclosures around that size.

My problem with those barn3 is that he only put 2 switches in there, I guess mainly for aesthetic purposes because he could've just get a slightly larger box and have 3 switches giving you 2 rows of 3

It's just a normal t s both switch

The "third" switch is pushing both at the same time.

DIY or have a bromate you one. 1590a would work?

Ahhhh, I didn't know about these! Shit. Need one.

It's not just an enclosure. it's a metal plate that attaches to the bottom.

Fine by me cause I really only need one - maybe two. For Bank Down. But I don't need three switches.

I've built them before, I just like the layout of the Barn3. Like I said, I may look into conduit.

Yeah I don't care about that or want it. Just want the same sized enclosure for the switches.

I mean, if you like their idea and their functionality works for you, why not just buy a Barn3? They're relatively cheap ($60 is insane-o cheap for the added live functionality), and I can't imagine coming out too far on top DIY'ing something that fits the Pitchfactor nicely. They're also super nice people with good customer support - one of my switches broke a while back and the next day they mailed me 4 extras, free of charge. If you just want the switches I'm with other folks saying just build one yourself in any old enclosure, but for the form-fitting design I gotta suggest just going with the people who went through the headache of making it work exactly right.

Faldoe. I'm commissioning a custom enclosure from a mill here to house a couple things:

Aux switch for Pitchfactor
Patchbay for all pedals
Axoloti enclosure (might try and get two PCBs in there)

Maybe just look into your local steel mill, see what they can do?

Short of that: yeah, just buy the Barn thing and live with the two switches rather than three.

Also worth noting, they also have a jack for a third switch that you can put anywhere which is pretty nice. If you wanna buy their snazzy one it's like 1.5"x1.5", has Nikola Tesla on it, and it's only $15. That's also cheaper than it'd be to order a momentary switch, the necessary drill bits, and the enclosure after shipping if you don't already have them.

But yeah I have some friends who work at steel mills and I think those are good places to source custom work.

Nice. I have a friend that is a fabricator and I'm going to see if they have any scrap that meets what I need.

To those suggesting buying the Barn: it is cool but I can build one for next to nothing. I always do the DIY route when possible cause it's fun and saves money.

Dude... thank you!!! Never thought of Lowes for getting stuff like that.

I need something like that for a controller I made with a Makey Makey to control a Mobius.
