Thanks, I've looked at these before, just a bit expensive for me, I'm still a novice builder, but cool none the less.

I'll let you know how it turns out - but I use my pedals in the studio only.


Nice, I look forward to seeing it when it's done!


it's a little smaller then I thought, but if assembled carefully, the Muff circuit with PCB mounted pots that's been waiting to get an enclosure should fit.
bonus: it'll look a little like an Expandora ;)

Wow, what's it for? It reminds me of some of the stuff on Beavis Audio.

A friend once told me of a guy who built a simple boost in a tuna can. Coolest pedal enclosure idea I ever heard. :joy:

I got it from Fry's. Dunno if you've got those stores where you're at but they have a few different sizes. They have some not slanted folded metal boxes that look cool too.

Only thing is they're pretty expensive. This box was like $25 but it's fucking huge and awesome

I'm thinking a Tone Machine. It's for my drummer but we're mainly gonna use it on bass

The label said "modular desktop module" btw maybe you can find them online

Second edit lol: the label was "modular desktop console" :facepalm:
