Any experience with this 17" Bud enclosure?

Wondering if anyone had bought one of these before. I was going to try to house a reverb pan in it.. which is 16.75" long reverb, kind of cutting it close.

Anyone try one?

Does the reverb hook up with RCA jacks on the ends?
Hook up the pan and measure with the leads,then decide if 1/4 inch is enough room.

You are going to have some trouble getting the pan past those lips on the sides, I think   

The enclosure is 17", but the entrance to the enclosure is only 16"

Yeah, but they are on the longer sides of the tank, not the short sides, so that's ok.

Yeah I saw that.. kind of has me 'd. I thought maybe I could go at it diagonally or clip off a section of the lips to get it in. The gauge is 0.05", where I think most of the stompbox stuff is 0.79 or so? I dunno..

Either you guys try anything from Bud or similar to this? Do they hold up ok? Not be stomped obviously, just in general.

If you nibble a little slot at each end of the chassis, even 1/4" deep by 2" wide, that ought to let you slip the pan in without difficulty.
