Does anyone know what type of enclosure byoc use? Im looking for something taller than a 1590b so I can put the jacks and power input at the back of the pedal.

Here a post from the pictures thread a while back by French Connection. This isnt what byoc use but would be perfect too.

You can fit both jacks and a DC input on the small face of a 1590b, you just have to be VERY precise with your measurements! I'm not sure about the closed jacks you have in that picture, but the open frame switchcrafts work.

the 125b enclosure is what you're looking for.

BYOC uses a 125B type enclosure.

There enclosures are custom made from custom molds in the US though, no NSC. They are very robust, I am not sure if the dimensions are the exact same as the standard 125B.

Yeah, I think certain enclosed types might be even neater but I want to have normal 16mm alpha pots over them and thats when it starts getting tricky. The extra height is what i want.

Anyone know where in Europe these are available at a decent price? Musikding have a similar size but they are €12.50.

I think Retex RI414 is what you are looking for (code 24080414):

I used it for some stompboxes and it's very easy put the three jacks at the back of the pedal.
Very popular here in Spain, but I don´t know if they are avaliable outside Spain.

Edit: Yes, they have some distributors: http://www.retex.es/paginas/ingles/informacion/info.html
