In order to fit the footswitch in there I had to hack out a piece of the cross-section that holds the spring for the original foot-paddle. I also had to drill a 2 extra holes for pots. I left out the LED because I seriously doubt that its possible to have Dr. Boogey turned on and not know it. I'm going to re-paint the box white and put some blue lettering and graphics and maybe some black/blue knobs. Not sure yet about the final look but for now I have one burly ass DOD pedal. Thanks to everyone who helped me out with this project!  :) You guys rock hard.

Onto my next project; The Colorsound Inductorless Wah!

 :icon_biggrin: Hahaha yeah my camera... At work they give us a Christmas present every year and last year (right before I was going to buy a digi-camera) they gave us digital cameras. I know what you're thinking "damn, free digital camera; SCORE!!"     

WRONG!

It's the biggest POS in a 500 mile radius when it comes to close-ups.  :icon_confused:

Are those Converse??
;D
Just kidding my friend.
From what I can see I'm sure it looks cool.
We all know what a DOD enclosure looks like and I think you had a great idea putting it in the death metal one.
Thumbs up!

Man, You need to get the "hoover" on that carpet !  :D

That's quite a tight fit to get the "Dr" in that enclosure, mine is twice the size !!

Converse = most comfortable shoes in existance  ;D

Yeah.. I just got this carpet put in like 2 months ago and its a pain in the ass to keep little white "things" off it.

I need to get a better camera so I can post some better shots of this thing. Like I said, there were very few complications with fitting the circuit inside there. I'm sure someone with cleaner wiring and better layout skills could fit it no problem. This is actually only like the 4th thing i've boxed up that actually fit how I imagined it. I guess 4 outta 8 aint bad  :D

If it weren't for the great PCB someone made for me (you know who you are!) I wouldn't have come close to fitting it in there. BUT! DOD enclosures are laid out pretty well to begin with and after a few minor modifications they can clearly be capable of housing much more than their original circuits.

And yes, I drilled straight through the crappy foot-pedal switch and put a big assed true bypass switch on there (MAN, I rock!)
