Enclosures - Multiple Boards

[BuddytheReow]

What would be a good size enclosure for a dual or even triple effect pedal? Not sure if there's one big enough for three but just curious. I'm considering a dual dirt pedal and seeing if I can add a boost for the third effect if size allows me.

There are some exceptions, but 1590XX will fit two of most of the 125B sized projects here without any troubles.

1590DD will fit three.

Depends on the circuit, you can get two into a 1590BB. Three in a 1590XX if you use a small one knob boost. 1590DD for sure will fit three of most of the boards here.

Awesome. Thanks. I guess the next question is it worth it to put multiples in one enclosure? I guess there is no wrong answer

When I get to building them, I'd really like to put the Malachite, Tyrian and Sanguine all in one box. Could I wire it to only have one on at a time? E.g. when I hit the button for the Tyrian, the other two are off automatically and I don't have to press 2 buttons.

And when you want the sanguine you step on it and the other two turn off?

Ideally It would also need a bypass switch that turns them all off.

You could do it with 3 Intelligent Relay Bypass Module. You don't need a "main bypass", as the active pedal can be turned off with its own footswitch.
From the product page:

Channel Switching Mode​

Channel Switching Mode is designed for use in multi-in-one combination effects pedals. When Channel Switching Mode is enabled only one effect can be active at a time.
Pressing any footswitch automatically activates that effect and bypasses any other active effect on the same control bus. Pressing the active footswitch again bypasses the effect.

Champion, this is great news. Thanks!
