4 pcbs in one enclosure

[Markk]

So I want to build the ember boost (spark boost clone) with the war sythe (tone reaper), also the oc-2 clone, as well as a green ringer in one enclosure. Any suggestions on how this should be wired? Is there anything special I would need to do in order to make this work? I would like each pcb to have it's own footswitch, and 2 audio jacks. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!!

So, 8 audio jacks? This may help for the wiring. It is for 2 pcbs in one enclosure, but the concept is the same in terms of the wiring in series.

They are wired just like a pedal chain. The output of the first board into the input of the next board, and so on.

Would the jack be able to handle that much current?

The Lumberg version of the jack is rated at 500mA so I can't imagine you'd have any problems there.

I don't see why not. I power my entire pedalboard from one jack. As long as the power supply can cover the draw. The OC-2 is the only current hog in the OP idea, and even then the total draw is reasonably low.

Should be a separate thread here, but how much current do you guys think these cheap Tayda ones can hold?

The datasheet states .5A 50v dc

Also, I’d use switching jacks so you could have an audio path from the first IN to the last OUT.

Just to clarify, the War Scythe already has a green ringer, or do you want just the Scythe Fuzz alone with a green ringer?
If the former, you'll need 5 stompers, the War Scythe itself has 3.

Here's how I'd have the in/out order:

Stomper 1: Ocelot (OC-2)
Stomper 2, 3, & 4: War Scythe
Stomper 5: Ember Boost

With maybe a order/position switcher to put the Ember Booost before the War Scythe.


Hammond 1590DD... The outer edge switches I'd place just above the enclosure's corners... something like the lower four on this switcher, but not quite as high:

If you added rails to protect the knobs, you could even go with the top-corner footswitches as above.

Maybe consider using a Hammond sloper (constant or flat-topper), so you've got extra space out back for all those jacks .
