Enclosure ideas

[DGWVI]

I'm looking for recs for an enclosure for a couple of dirt builds, and not wanting to use a standard Hammond rectangular box.
They just need to be at least the size of a 1590BB

Currently leaning toward a couple 1590Js, but figure there's probably something cooler out there

I really want to get some of these:

Home/Store - Fuzzcases

Fuzz pedal cases. Hand made cast aluminum enclosures. Made from original castings for the exact correct vintage size.

Those are all rad. Shame they're pre-drilled for pots, though.
The two circuits I have are a three knob and four knob deals

What about the trapezoid hammonds? Those are pretty sweet and roomy.

I love these for dual/triple builds. I wish Tayder had them with powder coat. I'd definitely snag a glow and a hammered silver trapezoid if they magically appeared.

Rad is exactly the word I had in mind when I saw these. They do have some non drilled ones and they also offer powder coat it seems. But the prices are very steep.

I love those trapezoid Hammond enclosures! I think they’re pretty unique would to see a textured black version!

I live with nine cats, so I have plenty of these... Now, which hardener is recommended for durability?

You might want to try solid foods.......

I think @Dan0h has used this for his tube builds. I have always loved the look, but they are pricey. Amplified Parts has the best variety of different enclosure styles.

Last time I suggested beans and broccoli, they banded together and whooped my ass

I totally forgot they made the 1456's in smaller than an entire pedalboard sizes. Think these might be what I grab

Those 1456 enclosures sure are a beauty! Those vents in the back are so badass!

Yeah, I've always liked that series, but have only ever used the larger ones.

I'm using infrared LEDs in both builds, so I may need to come up with an audio-responive light show to cram in those rear vents

Genius idea. Being able to see your diodes clipping is a cool feature!

In these cases, it wouldn't be the clipping diodes, as the ones I'm using aren't visible to (most) humans. But, whipping up some sort of LED matrix that responds to playing dynamics shouldn't be terribly difficult

For those wondering, the circuits are a modified Brutalist Jr, and a Damnation / MAE Parallel Drive

Ahhh yes hence the infrared LEDs!
