Super cheap, and pretty big. I dunno about quality, but it is the Shack. It's really tall, but folded, has anyone thought about cutting it down a bit into a slanted enclosure? Seems like a great fix for that sort of thing

I've eyeballed these enclosures at the shack.......I personally wouldn't use them for test equipment! They're pretty rough looking!

I do wish that some manufacturer/parts source would start making a few sizes of sloped, folded metal enclosures! There is a real void for this type of enclosure.

A sheet metal shop could pop these out for next to nothing!

Hey Steve!.......Small Bear.....Yeah you! Are you taking notes?

Those were the first enclosures I used waaay back when I first got into DIY. Back in those days Radio Shack  did carry a couple of sloped enclosures as well. I've since used them again a couple of times. They're strong enough to step on and smooth enough that using a full face decal is really easy. A couple of examples:  http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=99037.msg871979#msg871979  


Here's a place that has sloped enclosures: http://www.pedalenclosures.com/Home/tabid/38/language/en-US/Default.aspx

Yeah, I've seen those guys before. This was just a thought cuz it seemed like a cheap solution for little projects since they're so tall lol

Go get one from Radio Shack and give it a try.

I've visited and looked around on the Pedal Enclosure site a few times.....I like the YY enclosure but I don't like the price! $15.49 plus shipping is a bit steep for a small enclosure.

I personally don't care for the "prism" folded enclosure....it looks like a cheese wedge!

I would like the old EXH type enclosures. Then I could be happy and find peace in this world!

Allied and Newark and maybe mouser carries those enclosures I know allied and Newark does I've ordered from them!

Which enclosures?

This style?

This would be good for a larger flanger/phaser type build but $26 for a folded metal enclosure?

I'm pretty sure these are the type that pinkjimiphoton uses periodically

My thoughts lol

Anyone have any suggestions on how to go about this?

You don't like cheese wedges?     Are we going to have a problem here?

Mike....you have absolutely too much time on your hands! 
Very creative! I would not have thought to make a "cheezy" pedal.
