You know... as someone that worked as a production woodworker for over 7 years... I ask... why not build a wooden box around a standard metal pedal enclosure? you'd get your look and you'd get something indestructible
The only issue there would be you'd have to switch the pots to longer shafted ones or use thin wood on top.

It's a possibility for sure! Probably be cheaper than shielding too. The only issue I can think of it the thickness of both could create some issues with stomp switch lengths and jack lengths. They make longer pots that can be cut, so it's not a huge issue but it'd be a pain in the ass.
I'll look into that as well though!

You can get can get veneer in just about any type of wood and it can come 1/32" to 1/8" thick depending on your supplier

Or you could upgrade to soft switches (ARCADE SWITCHES, BITCHES).
I mean, if you're talking about wood, you're probably not thinking of making them 1590B/125B sized, anyway.

I have always thought arcade switches should be used more.. also I think you guys need to think of a bushcraft line for all those guys that think splitting logs with a knife is cool.. so you need at least one with bark still intact
