I have a chassi from an peavey dirty dog pedal that i piced apart. And oufqourse im gonna put someting else in it. But what.
For those of you not familiat with the pedal i can tell you that its layed oust as 2 dirt pedals in one box. Ergo i have rom for two pedals thet eatch can/should have 3pots, one on off sw and on toggle. Or i can build an super advanced box with 6 pots, 2 toggles and an extra stomp sw.

I dont wanna use it for dirt pedals, coz im alvays changin that part of my settup. I wanna use it for one  advanced og two standard effects that is always with me. Anny ideas out there.

I'd say that you're probably going to have to give everyone a little more information on what type of music you play, and what type of circuit or circuits that you're likely to be using the most often. Right now, it's almost like asking what shirt should I wear in the morning!

Well i play a little bit of everything. Mostly crunchy rock and blues. I'm looking at chorus/vibrato circuits, delays and reverb things. I'm not gonna build trem or flange Any time soon. But spacey roomy effects.

The chorus and vibratos are pretty intense builds, and I've never taken them on. A tremolo seems to be useful, and a lot less harder to  build. A lot of people swear by the Tremulus Lune for being the best DIY Tremolo. I believe this is over on Fuzz Central. General Guitar Gadgets has the PT-80 Delay and the Stage Center Reverb. Check out GGG, Tone Pad, and Mark Hammer's site for what you're looking for. There are also several compressors around (like the Orange Squeezer), and they're also universal.

Ive already ordered parts for an Ce-2 from tonepad http://www.tonepad.com/project.asp?id=53 and an pt-80 http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=48&Itemid=80 from ggg. the pt-80 i might put in, but i like my choruses before the overdrives, and i plan on using this pedal after, so probably there will be delay and an ???
