Multi Effect Box

[mcasemo]

Introducing my self so i won't get purged.  I made an octave double fuzz (Anderton) circuit on perfboard 18 years ago, got it working, then I had a plan to make a few boards and put them in a wooden box, even made the box.   Then sorta stowed it away.  I'm not a good player, but I mess around a bit.  Got married, new job, moved twice, have kids, 18 years later I find a whole world of guitar effect diy, kits, etc... out there.  I found the circuit and it still worked. 

So I have the bug now and am going to fill this box up with as much as I can.  It's wood, I know I have to shield it and all.  I'm putting the following in it (plan for now at least).  1) LPB-1 Boost, 2) EM-Drive, 3) Fuzz Face, 4) echobase (delay with modulation), 5) rat with mods, 6) foxx tone machine, 7) spring reverb with on board spring tank. I have 3 complete and am troubleshooting 2, have the rat and echobase near complete.   i have the spring tank, and the pcbs for the tone machine and reverb on the way. gonna have a patch board on top to set the order.  Not sure if I will ever complete it, but have a whole lotta fun!

Cheers,
Mark

Welcome Mark! And welcome back to pedal building. That's going to be an epic box. I love the custom graphics!    You should keep us posted on your project as it progresses over in build reports.

Thanks Lee.  I've been thinking much about graphics, but can't commit to anything until i have at least 25% working!

This is awesomely ambitious, especially considering it's 18 years in the making. Good luck, and keep us updated!

Quick update on my slow slow progress.  The box is now a tubescreamer, sola sound tone bender (3 knob), foxx tone machine, rat, small stone phaser, echo base, and spring reverb with tank.  small stone phaser (space harp) is in work with univibe switches, everything else worked before mounting.  still have patch board to work up, then figure out the artwork for the box.  having much fun with this

You probably know already, but be sure to link, by wire or solder, the aluminum shielding on the top and bottom sections for the most effective shielding.

certainly!  actually was going to let the clamping of the top to bottom via the hinge and latch to press the two aluminum surfaces together to connect them, then ground them with wire to the circuit ground.
