Hello fine stompbox aficionados, enthusiasts, addicts, and general lovers of foot operated switching devices for the manipulation of audio signals, creating extensive musical enjoyment! 

After having a go at building a batch of aluminum enclosures, I feel inclined to try to take this to the next level...

Here is a list of wedgey-ish, vintagey, hyper stylish super hipster boxes that would be useful to have dimensional information on, all in one place!

I propose that if you have access to any of these models, please to post dimensions for any and all to duplicate, a database if you will.

One rule - use the following format to specify dimensions, to eliminate confusion and adhere to some semblance of a standard -

-  exclude rubber bumber standoffs from the dimensions, measure external metal dimensions only, exluding any height from the floor.

-  can be inches or metric, just specify, use the following format:

HF = height at the front of box, parallel to face, seam to seam (if front face is slightly slanted for example, don't measure perp. to the ground, but parallel to face)

HR = height at rear of the box, same as above

L1, L2, L3, L4 - lengths of each successive top face from front to back.  All measurements parallel to the face, seam to seam.  If L3, L4 don't exist, then they are zero....

W = width.  A few pedals are wider at the rear than the front, if so use WF and WR.

D= depth, bottom face, for reference

Measure twice, write once!!!!

Measure parallel to the face, seam to seam, not perpendicular to the floor!

External dimensions!



Don't worry about angles, they can be worked out in CAD or estimated, unless you have the ability to measure and provide...

This diagram might help to clarify the dimension format request, kind of a unifuzz styled box:

Measurements of the recess (indent?) are from edge to where the "next" flat surface starts.



Recesses for switch and jacks are 3mm deep.

Anything unclear or unmeasured, just ask.
