Best enclosure size for double builds

[passtheducky]

Hiya, dumb question but I couldn't find the answer explicitly spelled out.

What do you find is the best enclosure size for a pair of the typical 125B sized designs? Is it a 1590XX that people usually use?

1590XX, yes. Depending on the size of the boards, you may be able to squeeze them in a 1590BB.



Most likely could’ve squeezed this in a BB

Brilliant, thanks. So XX if it's a pair of full size and maybe a BB if one or both are on the smaller side.

Yep! XX is literally the size of two 125s side by side.

Or if you really WANT to offboard and have a rats nest


moral of the story is, get creative, just make sure every thing is isolated. That is a BB2 btw

My only stipulation for 2 pedals in one enclosure is why? Is there a specific interaction you want between them, is it just one power tap? This is a 1590xx
And at the end of the day I’m considering putting these in 125Bs just because even with all the bells and whistles I will have more flexibility and save a little space if they are in separate enclosures, not saying don’t do it. But its something to think about.

For some reason, have half of requests I get from guitarists lately are for dual builds. They just think it’s cool and I’m happy to oblige. And I always throw an fx loop in there for more flexibility.

Plus you get to make bigger artwork

If someone else want to pay for it, by all means. I have found I switch stuff up waay to much to be that committed

Don't forget, just because the PCBs fit doesn't mean the knobs will fall into a comfortable position.

The outer-most knobs on the two PCBs might be crowded in a 1590BB.

Gotta strategically pair up coordinating knob arrangements!

 

[passtheducky]

Yea, I really like the wider canvas for the artwork. There is a lot of stuff that just doesn’t work on the smaller format.

The last dual I did, I put individual ins and outs with a switching jack if I want to use just a single in and out.
