Hello guys, new in the forum and in pedal building.

I'm constructing a multieffect of fuzz, modulation and echo that I want to put in a big, 3-footswitched enclosure. I was looking around the Hammond-style ones (1590DD especially), but I don't think they're big enough. I generally prefer big and spacious enclosures.

I was thinking of something in the size of the TC Electronic Flashback x4, which is around 24cm long and not too tall.
Would you have an idea of where to find such an enclosure? Should I go custom-made order? And would you have any links to provide me with?

Thanks a lot for your attention

Hi! Where are you situated? Makes it easier to suggest stores.. and will save you a lot of shipping costs.

Also, if know which PCBs you plan on stuffing in it, or at least their approximate dimensions, that will help. You can easily fit 3 small to medium sized PCBs in a DD. There's more room in there that you think.

Thank you for your answers. I am based in Switzerland, close to the french border.

It's not only for the pcb(s), it's mostly for the sake of aesthetics,  ergonomy and comfort of the footswitches and knobs.
The closest one I found is the following (1550GBK):

but I think it's quite tall...

I'm looking for something similar to this:

Okay, well if you're in Switzerland then Bonzai might be your best source for pedal enclosures

But I've never bought from them, and I'm not sure about their prices, sizes, etc.

I have ordered with banzai many times before. They're fast, prices are reasonable (they do bulk prices) and have a wide assortment. But, I don't know about their biggest enclosures. They do have a predrilled section as well.

Check out the Hammond Small Enclosure index, scroll on down to the aluminum chassis. All the sizes you could want.
