Just another arrival to growing candy stomp-box family ;)
...
i've always wondered how these hold up wen used?  do they every collapse on u or is the switch close enough to the edge that the side supports it?

Yep, it's definitely not stomp-box you would let KT Tunstall use ;), but with kind stomping it holds up surprisingly well, mainly exactly thanks to the fact, that switch is close to the edge, with is pretty sturdy thanks to some banding. Maybe I will try to underpin the switch somehow (by small wood-block probably) inside as well.. But anyway, I'm planning to make proper housing once I decide I really want use this effect regularly..
Do you have a technical question? Please don't send private messages, use the FORUM!

That looks like the 'doghouse' or 'peckerhead' cover from a three phase electrical motor.  Get in the phone book look up motor rewinders or motor repair.  Ask the guy if you can drop by and look for some salvage.

Ha! You're right... just took a stroll around the shop... a lot of machine motors have similar covers on them. The covers I have probably came from passenger train motors... cool, thanks for the tip!

Just a word of caution to anyone thinking about going this route - the cover was easy to work with, but the base / bottom cover that I had to make was VERY time consuming. A lot of cutting, grinding, sanding, drilling, tapping... I probably could have completed three pedals in the time it took me to make this one pedal. Labor intensive - you've been warned! lol...

try using one as the top, another one the other way around as the bottom. it will kind of be a "straight" box but with a cooler shape.

Does that "blood spatter" remind anyone else of the TV show Dexter?

 OK ... speaking of pictures...
  'Kid Warrior' and 'Grampa German'...are those real photographs of yourselves at some point in your lives ?
  They're great pics, and they're making me just wonder..''of who?''.
  That is one ugly kid [ :D]...and the smokin'-gramp-pic is too good lookin' :icon_razz:.
