Show us your side knobs 😤

[DGWVI]

I've got an idea for a build, but I'm wanting a bit more inspiration beyond the gorgeous Foxx Tone Machine




Bonus points if it's got more than one stompyboi on ot

Life pedal?

Totally forgot about the first version of that, which is funny, because this build's gonna sorta be my take on the same sort of amalgamation

Jacks on opposing sides, though

Vintage fuzzes (e.g., FZ-1 and Superfuzz) also had side-mounted knobs.

Yeah, looking at the wedge type enclosures and seeing the originals was what prompted me to consider side knobs. But, for this, I'll probably be using a 1590D or larger, so looking more for rectangular builds

I'll give this a pass simply because it probably makes those shitty bleepbloops I'm so fond of

The foot rollers are so rad. I'd be concerned with having to clean em out weekly with all the cats though

Might have to whip up an Evil Pumpkin'd Defouler after I clear this queue

I can’t find any pictures but I once made a run of ruby amps in 125B with the controls, switches, and in jack on the long side and the power and out jack on the back so that they sat like a miniature amp head.

With what I'm planning, I'm hoping I'll be able to squeeze six pots, a toggle, and the I/O jacks on one edge comfortably
It'll be getting three stomps minimum, but I'm still workshopping some other possible footswitchable options before I commit

I found working on the edge very intuitive, and there’s remarkably more space there than you would think. This sounds cool, I’m into it.
I got my start in pedal building by buying used fuzz pedals and installing starve knobs on the sides and then reselling them for profit on eBay over 25 years ago.

Beetronics' Octahive, Vezzpa Octave Stinger, Swarm Fuzz, and Fatbee OD all have at least 1 side knob.

a One Knob Fuzz with switchable caps in orange, and a Bazz Fuss in green.

That sandwich muff is rad.
I've always been too scurred to use those tins- I've a history of crushing the EHX bent steel boxes, and the times are even thinner

Even my HOG has a few dents in it already

 

[G.G.]

yeah, they look cool but are actually a total PITA to drill out because they tear so easily, plus they make the mechanical switch POP really loud. The M&M ones are little better because the small size makes them a little more sturdy.

Off-topic of side knobs, but on-topic of sandwiches, this is the control logic circuit for my metal lathe.
