i am making circuits that are quite large. leaning more toward synth hybrids than fuzz boxes.
i want to make something smaller than the ark but bigger than the biggest box small bear carries.

it would be nice to be able to fit more than ONE pcb/vero inside of the box so that i dont have to limit the ideas i have.

i am open to ANYTHING. I really like the slanted boxes i see some people using. (lovetone uses these)

one of the coolest boxes i found lately seems to have been an old honeywell Circuit Breaker box (the kind most basements have mounted on the wall) found it on the street..brand new. anyway...any ideas would be great as far as who sells enclosures,etc.

thanks!

Check out Hammond's 1456 series. They're sturdy sloped enclosures that come in multiple sizes.

Mick Farlow makes custom aluminum enclosures and he's done a couple of really big boxes for multi-effect builds. They look sweet. Here's Mick's ad for some enclosures that'll hold ADA Flanger builds:

And there are pictures of his enclosures, including the big ones I mentioned, here:

you should email dano (beavisaudio)  he seems to use a fair amount of large enclosures that might fit what you're looking to build...

There is also the Hammond 1444 series.  You have to buy the bottom plate seperately.

They also have some interesting ones at LMB Heeger.  Look under 'modular desktop consoles'.
