bluesbreaker/orange squeezer/single enclosure

[vacuumdust]

I thought this would be a cool project AND I have all the parts for it.  I was planning on building it like this...input jack to bluesbreaker wired for true bypass and then out to the other stomp switch for the OS circuit wired for true bypass, and then out to the output jack.  So only 2 jacks on the enclosure.  Each effect would have it's own battery....both batteries wired to a DPDT toggle to turn them on and off.  It seems to me the OS should be after the overdrive since it has the ability to boost (only one volume control) and most distortion units need to be boosted at the output...does this seem right???  Any issues with both effects being ground to the same enclosure??  THANKS.

Sounds like a good project- I believe the "Route 66" pedal is the same concept. One thing I would recommend is putting the Comp BEFORE the OD- It will be way less noisy (search the recent discussion on the OS compressor noise issue here).

Vacuumdust,

Plankspank is right about placing the compressor before the Bluesbreaker.

Why 2 batteries? You can use 1 battery for 2 circuits and have it switched off by the input jack.
Turning of the batteries with a switch is easily forgotten.
Check the Bluesbreaker project at GGG http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/pdf/ggg_bbr_lo2.pdf.
It shows how to wire the input jack for switching the battery.

You should have no problems putting 2 fx in one enclosure. I once did 3  in 1 without any problems.
It didn't have an internal battery though. One of the fx was FL-301 flanger which requires 12V.
