Does anyone know where I can pick up some large enclosures in the UK? I can get 188x118x38mm enclosures which are great for three effcts in one box but I am looking for even longer enclosures to squeeze in four or five effects. Not too tall though; once you go above 40mm deep you have to lift your foot up to far to turn things on and off! :lol:

Bluebell Audio had some sheet metal enclosures I was looking at before, think they went up to quite large sizes.

The Biggest reasonably priced ones I could find were at Rapid, but they are 40-50mm high, and you said you didnt like that.
Still, for £12 or so for a box 220 x 145 mm ish, I thought it was worth the compromise.

I typically use decals, so the drilled holes dont bother me as Ill cover them up. If not, it doesnt even look terrible imho...

What brand enclosure is that? It is not an Eddystone is it? I usually buy enclosures from Rapid.

I am going to trawl through the Farnell enclosures list tomorrow.
