Some of you that have been around a while may remember my BOTY entry from a few years back, the Page Box. This was meant to be an all-in-one Jimmy Page pedalboard in a box. In the box was a Tone Bender Mk.II -> Phase 90 -> Delay w/ Modulation -> Effects loop -> EP-3 preamp Boost -> RAH.
The original was built on Vero, and it was a total spaghetti mess on the inside. I recently decided to take another look at the box, see if I could clean things up. And here are my results:

I admit, I was expecting a big PCB, not a few :)
Did you get lost while navigating that huge enclosure, after all those 1590A builds? ;)
What are the extra two 1/4" jacks for?
Alanp you beat me to it!!!
How much easier is it with all of that glorious room to fit things?
Looks and sounds great, really nice job.
I didn't really know what to do with all the extra room, it was a little disorienting, wasteful even. I wanted to just throw a dozen 1590A boxes in there :)
The extra two jacks are for the effects loop, to add something else in. There is also an additional +9V jack to daisy chain power out for something in the loop or a wah (because you need a wah).
