Help me find a creative use for this enclosure.

This box is from a failed project that was attempted, but never accomplished, many moons ago.

I think it was supposed to be a true bypass looper and wet/dry loop together, or something weird like that.

Now I have a box with two 3PDTs two sets of jacks and one knob(the light up knobbie can go if I need more space). Every time I walk into my work space, it's sitting right there, staring me down, mocking me for making it the mutant that it is.

I was thinking two different boosters. I already have a lpb1 and a couple germ boosters, both in one box would be nice, but I am sure there are some better ideas. I could also flip the box and do one switch where the pot is and use the holes for the switches for pots.

What say you madbeaners? Any idea of what I can jam into this box? I am ok with using the battery area for circuit board area.

Don't give up on those bypass loopers man, I have one and it's my most useful pedal!

You can do it!

Right after you said '2 boosters' I was thinking Firebomb! I have one and it is very, very cool! Makes your amp sound like it's gonna blow up, without losing your original amp tone. Might be a tight squeeze to get the 2 extra pots and the board in there.....

Thinking back, I think that the loop was supposed to be a wet/dry blend on one switch and, a series parallel loop on the other. I believe it is possible, but I need a 4PDT to complete it. Also, I've found another work around for what I was trying to accomplish then. Thanks for the links though, I bookmarked them both!

It would be cool to each booster in different locations of my chain, before and after ODs, etc. Is the firebomb based on the SHO, or a different boost?

DutchMF

The Firebomb is basically 2 SHO's bootstrapped back to back, with the last one having an added MV. Not really suitable for what you would want, but that would also mean adding 2 more jacks tot the whole deal... Could you it that all in that box?
