The schematic on the PCB + the clear lid, that’s super cool.

There’s two ways I use it. One way is stereo. It’s pretty rad when the modulation is going back and forth between two amps. The other way is in my programmable loop switcher. I can run the two sides in series or parallel. I can flip the order of them. I can put a dirt pedal or other effect...

So clean. Is that the tayda white hammer? I really enjoy the Red Snapper, but for whatever reason rarely use it.

Mine does this too. I just assumed it was the way I have the trimpots set.

That turned out great.

I have squeezed two relay bypass boards in a 1590BB. It was a bit awkward, but it worked. I stuck one under the board, and one over the footswitches. I insulated both sides because they would otherwise touch the walls of the enclosure. Check out this build report to see how it looks...

Just genuinely curious as a fan of mid-boost pedals myself- is it the lack of a Q control? I’m a fan of the Varioboost, and that’s probably what I would want. A one channel fully parametric EQ plus a clean boost.

To answer the original question, there is no drawback to using the Cusack enclosures. They are no less durable. As far as hand drilling, it is easier than a hammond, despite a hammond enclosure being already very easy to drill.

I was looking at that Axe Fx, and it looks like it has plenty of inputs and outputs. Is there a reason those won’t work for this case?

Another way of thinking of it is to wire what you have now “upside down”. So that the footswitch is pointing the wrong way. Then the wiring is correct and you twist it 180 to orient the footswitch correctly. If that makes sense.

There are PCBs that will fit in a SBP 1590B Pro that will not fit into a regular 1590B. There’s a mm or two of extra space because of the thinner walls. I put a PPCB Spirit Box in one.

The SBP Cusack enclosures are great. They are a bit easier to drill, especially if you are using a hand drill.

What I’m saying is the way stereo is implemented on the CH-1 is one channel wet, one channel dry. It’s pretty cool really- the chorus effect is created in the acoustic space that the two amps are in.

But all you would need to do is buffer n’ split the signal before the chorus, so the mono version can be used like the stereo version.
