Will someone please for the love of all things good and holy help me find an enclosure that is just a wider version of a 125B, that doesn't cost 30 bucks.  ???

side note: this might be a good place to compile a list of enclosures from smallest to largest. could be helpful to people wanting to know what to build in. XD

You could take a look at Pedal Parts Plus.  They have a lot of options and will drill and powdercoat too.

I have a drill a uni-bit, spray paint and water slide decals... I'm all set on the finishing side of things... what I need is the next logical size up from a 125B...

basically same height... twice the width would be ideal. or at least very close to that.

Oh lord never mind I'm a lazy fool... XD

So... 1790NS seem to fit the bill nicely... I wish they were a bit cheaper but I'm not going to complain about 2 or 3 bucks difference.

Not exactly... I'm doing some slight rounding between what different sites list and my own measurements

125B   = L-220mm & W-64mm
125BB = L-220mm & W-94mm

while it is wider... it isn't twice as wide and for the pedals I'm making, if I want two effects in the same box there are also issues with stompswitch spacing.

Bassically I need a box that is (L=220mm & W>=220mm)
which is the 1790 box in a nut shield..... although I wish there was a version that was exactly twice as wide and then one exactly three times as wide... XD. Can't hurt to dream I guess.

This may or may not help, but I'm trying to put together a table of the more commonly used enclosures here: http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=100340.msg882800#msg882800
