Does anyone know if there are enclosures that are deeper than the standard 1590 series enclosures? I need to rehouse my BK Butler Tube Driver and it looks like , because of the tube, I'm going to need something that's a little bit deeper.

I use the 15 degree slope version of these for tube stuff. They're not cheap but they do come with vents to let the heat out.

Have a look here:

The 1590BBM and 1590BBT are deeper versions of the more standard 1590BB.
Some other reseller might have deeper variants of the other standard-enclosures.

The 125-C that Small Bear carries is a bit longer and wider than a 1590B, but is usefully deeper.  Doesn'T take up much more room than a 1590B and you can stuff an awful lot into it.

Recently made a project with pcb hanging off the pots - failed to check the box was deep enough until I'd drilled it -  lid wouldn't fit duh!
Remembered this coil of ali wire (about 3mm thick) I'd put to one side thinking it'd be useful one day and shaped it into a gasket to space the back off a bit (screws plenty long enough and ribbing round the inside of lid makes a guide). With the box painted red and the ali wire buffed up it looks pretty nifty. It was a fiddle to shape the ali, 'cause it's so soft and had been bent about a bit already. Anyway, it got me out of a corner. I think the wire is sold at gardening suppliers?

Of course, there are ready made gaskets for these enclosures for water sealing - I don't know how much they add to depth -  if any?

Aron used to sell acrylic LED lighting panels in the diystompboxes store to be sandwiched between case and lid and illuminated.  This may give you a bit of extra depth if you only need a small amount.  And of course, extra bling.  Just make sure the screws connect metal to metal or you will have a floating lid that will not block outside noise.

Mentioned in another current thread is the 1590S. Then of course there's the 'BS' and the 'BBS', deeper versions of the 'B' &'BB',  the 'U' the 'C'... how deep are you going?

1590J is what we used for the Fuzz Monster tube fuzz.

The 'J' chops down into a nice roomy wedge.

Check out BUD Industries enclosures. They can be found on amazon and are very competitive price wise with Hammond. Some deep boxes are available. Haven't rehoused anything yet but have a few lying around that are definitely deeper than the standard 125 and 1590 ones.

I tend to use the 1590N and 1590NS for my builds. They're a little bit larger in all dimensions than a 1590B, and have the same footprint as a Boss compact pedal, which given how much they're able to fit into their enclosures should give an idea of how much room they have.

The 1590N is essentially the same as the 125B. I didn't check the 1590NS.

Floor-mat at the front entrance to my former place of employment. Oh... the irony.

I'm not sure which it is, but the only difference between the N and NS is that one of them has board mounting slots moulded into the sides.
