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

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.

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"

ok, I got a really cheesy one from eBay for 1 Euro
I think'll put the on/off switch right in the guy's face!
this would look cool on stage, plus you can store candy in it.
