It wouldn't be an easy fit in this one, the slide pots go from wall to wall in the enclosure with no room in between.
If a 10-band version happens it'll definitely have one.

Ten-band would be very cool. Any plans for a parametric EQ, or do plan on stopping with a graphic?

You’re seeing the slider without a knob set in the middle position I believe.

Not yet, unfortunately.
They were having some issues milling the slots properly at 2mm and were going to try moving up to 3mm and send samples of both.
I'm trying to keep the slots as tight as possible for those who don't want to use the faceplate and prefer to do their own graphics.

Gotcha. That sounds like a good solution (if possible). Keep us updated with developments!

Are there any build docs for this yet?

I'll get the build docs up as quickly as possible. This one has a couple parts that aren't immediately obvious. (hex spacers)
These are the slide pots I used: (B50K with center detent)

Some folks have suggested using W20K instead of B50K but I haven't personally tried them...

Do you know if there are any caps or covers that will fit the slider ends? I was going to paint them but didnt know if there was something out there that would work.
Put it together tonight btw and you did an awesome job on the boards! Just waiting for the pre-drilled enclosure.

No updates yet, I'm still waiting to hear back about the tooling change.

Those toggle switch caps look like a good solution. Impressive to see 8 different colors as well. And thanks for posting the build docs. I'm going to try to use my drill and dremel to see how the enclosure comes out. Glad I have the faceplate to go with it. : ^ )

Would be be OK to blast one square hole in the center of the enclosure, instead of (a) waiting for the pre-drilled enclosures or (b) attempting to make the slits? That way there's more room for error? I figure the faceplate will be stiff and sturdy enough on the top... Might be a fool hardy work-around.
