Hate to push our luck, but smd AND 1.95" max dimensions would be extra cool so they'd also fit in a 1590B.
Who's down for some SMD layouts?

A few mm narrower and it could have gone in 1590b, just a few mm, or small fraction of an imperial inch if you prefer… just a tiny bit, wafer thin - and it could have fit!I really am sorry, I have failed you....
I believe in your layout skills- and I know it’s a very tight layout with a lot of large components… but I bet you can do it!

you could always try doing it yourself (or taking a dremel to the edges)
I could, and last time I almost did, till I decided to have a go myself, used PCB assembly for the SMD parts and shrunk it into a Gorva M45 - which is cool and that but I would have appreciated buying the PPCB pub rather than do that.
If the default Pedal PCB pcb size was a few mm narrower it would make little difference to anyone except for the the folk like me wanting to use 1590B not 125B. Not everything in the world will fit - but a SMD TS....theres no reason for it not to
Yeah, it’s big. But that’s by design- it’s kind of a starter SMD project.
If you do go down the path of shaving down the sides, do yourself a favor and get the Cusack 1590B. The walls are thinner and it has a little more room.
That’s what I used to shove the Spirit Box in a 1590B

no reason but 125B with top jacks being the pedalpcb gold standard and as @jcpst said it's meant for beginners. We are a DIY friendly place, Robert will be just fine if you decide not to buy one board. Hell I barely order anything anymore since I learned how to do it. Also I'm in Canada

That wasn't the point but yes we shan't clutter the thread with squabbles. It's all good dude.
