I saw this a couple of days ago and I thought it was genius, does anyone know who could build me a casing for 3 of my pedals?

    Box is a Hammond 1550G and it's a pain in the arse to re-house already existing pedals unfortunately. Everything about taking something with it's own switching and making it all into a coherent multi is just a lot of effort. Doing it properly is very time consuming...

    I concur, and this is why some Cornish pedals/systems are SO expensive...... I've done it once before and tbh i never want to do it again. Even if i were to do it, its cost prohibitive for the buyer and sucks a lot of hours in labour. The more elegant solution is to use a little multi loop switcher like the gigrig Quartermaster 4, you retain resale value this way too......

    Don't get me wrong I make a lot of multi's for myself. But the ones that work have got to have a purpose other than just jamming your pedal board into one box. That never works as at some point you'll want to change things and you can't, then you're stuck with a multi that you can't sell as it doesn't 'fit' anyone else.

    However you can make them if they have a goal or a purpose. These are the ones that work, where all the effects in there work together to create different soundscapes for example. These are very, very cool. But as Thorpy says, massively, massively time consuming to do. Also I don't do re-houses, they're all built from scratch. Finally I don't make them to order any more.
