Big enclosures? (Triple Footswitch Pedals).

[steveyraff]

What the subject line says - I am interested in learning more about enclosures for 3 in 1 pedals. I am not sure exactly what dimensions the 3 circuits I am thinking of are going to total up to - so feel free to post a variety of different suggestions. Asides from various 1590's and their Eddystone equivalents, I am not so familiar with bigger enclosures. Thanks.

Biggest I have used is a 1590XX

(Edit.  A lie.  The 1590DD is longer, but shallower in depth)

What sort of enclosure is in this video? The triple footswitch one...

The 1590TRP series includes a trapezoid with a 5.95 inch edge - this is wider than the 1590BB and enough for three stomps.
Depending on you circuits therein. Three pre-made pc boards almost certainly won't fit. I find the densest way of building is pad-per-hole perf. Also, if you were to build them on one perf, you can share a few power supply components perhaps.
I like to find and reuse old electronic garbage. Old switchers and routers, candy tins, etc.

I have one like that too.. I will get back with you... I have to dig it up.

1590G is what I put my Schumann PLL clone in, Mouser has them.  1590J is cool too... but you seemed to have said other than 1590 series.

I line cigar boxes with aluminium foil for shielding and put 3 difirent distortion, overdrive and fuzz units in there, ill ask the owner of the pedal for a picture, but he's very bad at reading his emails on a regular basis.

But its a cigar box with 3 stomp switches and like 12 knobs. It looks great, if I may say so myself.

Good luck

Sorry - I didn't even know there was a J. I meant I was only aware of 1590B/BB A/AA. Thanks man.

I still have this is my possession, waiting for me to build either a multi-effect or an amp.  Just a reminder to keep yours eyes out for flea market and thrift store possibilities.

Yeah dude go do a search for Hammond enclosures on mouser,  all kinds of stuff.   

I meant 1550G for the PLL it's huge.

As Picard said, "there are plenty more letters in the alphabet".  Good for Starfleet, good for Hammond.  BTW, I used a BX2 for my triple:




I was a bit of a squeeze, but I made sure I chose pretty small boards.

OK.. dug them out of the closet.  Again, I like the 1590XX.

The 1590DD is about an inch and a half bigger length wise, but a little shallower.

And, the 1590J is deeper, but about an inch narrower, length-wise. (than the XX)
