The ruler is for scale, the box is 4.5cm square and it works !
had to place one pot on the side and the battery is external, they are 16mm pots, the wiring was a very "tiny nightmare"  !!
Enjoy,
Marty.

You've seen the Guyatone OD-2, right?

[MartyMart]

Thanks Guys ! !
It was a quick build, just working out where it would all go/wiring took a little time !
The box is another "BIMBOX"  ala Pete `Cornish, it cost me 3 bucks !
would be a great size for an A/B box ..... just !

Did you get the box from Maplin?

somewhere deep in the archives is a pic of a Dist+ that Alfonso Hermida did... the size of a US Quarter...  pretty neat.

Nice work on that!

Here's the link to Alfonso's Dist. + thread: http://diystompboxes.com/sboxforum/viewtopic.php?t=8089&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=

The picture doesn't work anymore, but you can read their discussion.  Apparently he used SMT components.  Sounds awesome.

Hey Lightningfingers, nice to find another "UK" based stomp nut called Martin !
Yeah, its a Maplins special !!  VERY tight fit though, i would'nt recommend it to anyone !
Got to go back to Maplins today, have two small DPDT switches which both sheared off when i fitted them to an enclosure !!
There's almost no metal connecting the shaft to the wiring block !!!  so you can't tighten them much at all.
Dist+ the size of a Quarter !  I'm Beat  !!  back to Hammond BB for me.
Regards,
Martin.

Don't shop at Maplin if you can help it. They Suck. But I won't get started now, there's plenty of "hammer Maplin" threads in the archives.  :lol:
