Here is my build of a 3-in-1 I did. This is my first 3-in-1. I really wanted to do one which is pretty much my main reason for this build. That and enclosures are expensive!
I wanted to do 3 fuzzes in one box all from the same company. Not sure why I went with Basic Audio but I'm happy with them.
I ran into issues with not accounting for the 2 middle screw posts. As seen below I drilled the footswitch hole right in front. So, to salvage this without it turning to too much crap, I sanded/grinded out the post. I think this was my best solution for what I had to work with.
You can see the before and after. I lost the ability to add the sixth screw to attach the bottom but I think it's worth it.
I was able to shift the power over but only after I already printed the graphic out. So the label on the decal is not lined up. No biggie.
Overall I'm happy with it. The PPCB Mutagen Fuzz (Basic Audio Fuzz Mutant) and The PPCB Kazoo (Basic Audio Zippy) are cool. Sort of novelties. The Mutagen being based on the 60's Os Mutantes Fuzz and the Zippy basically being a Shin Ei FY-2. The PPCB Dung Beetle (Basic Audio Scarab Deluxe) on the other hand is a very nice and flexible Fuzz. I really like the tones I was getting from that and I can see putting that one in its own 125B enclosure.
It was interesting and I learned alot which is what gives me joy in my DIY journey. I think it came out pretty great. And got to try out my new name plate on the front. Which may or may not be covering up paint peeling from the grinding process.
Edited: Grammar
