You'd want something about 9 inches long (har har har) if you're putting them in a straight line. The standard Z.Vex sized enclosure is just a bit under 4.5in, and they're about the smallest I'd want something with 2 foot switches.
So, no shorter than 8.5", IMO. The other dimensions are up to you. See if they have something on

that's what i was thinking...
currently the pedal is in a 1411 type box... really don't like it. to thin, and keeps getting knocked backwards.
the 1590DD seem nice, but it might be too small...
i saw a pic of the devi never that aen (dwarfcraft) had built, and it had four in a straight line.
it's hard to tell if it's too tight. i could decide to offset them...?
i've got a Custom E5 (eventide foot controller from this1smyne) that's in an 1590DD box coming in the mail soon.
I'll look at that and decide i guess.
http://www.mouser.com has too many options. i don't even know where to start.
there's this guy
http://www.alliedelec.com/search/produc ... KU=7360417 8.75 X 5.74 X 2.25 (I think this is the same box as the upcoming devi workhorse.)

So how is that Devi Never? Looks like a barrel of fuzzy monkeys!

Looks like a really hurried and poorly planned prototype to me. HT said it sounds good to him though. so that's good.

I reckon three footswitches is enough on a 1590DD but then again a bigger enclosure is probably worse again.
