Permalink Help needed with aio effects project

New Topic
Page 1 of 1

Hi all, I’m new here.
Im wanting to build an all-in-one multi effects unit.
I have an amazing case which was originally a piece of calibration equipment… possibly military but who knows.

The case can house a 17” reverb pan perfectly. I’ve built myself a Surfybear reverb, a tremolo & a fuzz which I’m planning to house together.
I’m getting a bit bogged down in the details so I’m hoping folk with more brain power can assist-

  • I’ll need a breakout box for the foot switches for each effect; maybe with a db25 or something alike. Will the added length of cable affect the function/signal at all?

  • Is there any negative reason for mounting a reverb pan on its side?

  • I have 12 panel holes for pots and switches. Surfy uses 4/5, fuzz uses 3, term uses 2… what do I do with the remaining? Should I add a delay unit or just have more flashy lights to fill the excess holes?

  • The panel as is has its labels etched into the metal. I want to use waterslide transfers for my labelling and graphics. What is my best option for filling these old label recesses?

  • Are there any worthwhile mods for the Surfybear? Dual mixer, gain, infinite feedback?

I realise that a lot of this is subjective or meandering, but I’m hoping someone out there can help iron out my brain Big Grin
