Members Taylor. Posted April 4, 2011 Members Share Posted April 4, 2011 In before guy who chopped the whole bottom half of his NYC enclosure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Blakemore Effects Posted April 4, 2011 Members Share Posted April 4, 2011 The silver enclosure with the red pi symbol used to be an NYC reissue. Rehousing that thing sucked so hard. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aaron SS Posted April 4, 2011 Members Share Posted April 4, 2011 Worst rehouse ever but that's as small as it can possibly get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Blakemore Effects Posted April 4, 2011 Members Share Posted April 4, 2011 Worst rehouse ever but that's as small as it can possibly get. Yeah. It looks like yours is BB sized too. The circuit board goes all the way across the widest dimension (height in my case), and you just have to sit everything perfectly or it won't shut. I had to mount the PCB to the bottom of the enclosure so there was even room to get the footswitch in. I'm never doing something like that again. Haha.

Members hangwire Posted April 4, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 4, 2011 so what would be the next size up from that one rhcp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Blakemore Effects Posted April 4, 2011 Members Share Posted April 4, 2011 so what would be the next size up from that one rhcp? Hmm. I dunno. Like we both said, you can make one that size work, but it really is a pain in the ass. This looks to be a few inches bigger which might just be enough wiggle room to make it easier, but you're only saving like an inch or two in each direction over the full size enclosure at that point.

Members ambient Posted April 4, 2011 Members Share Posted April 4, 2011 It would probably be easier to build a byoc muff kit. They're MXR size iirc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ambient Posted April 4, 2011 Members Share Posted April 4, 2011 Or rehouse a 2nd pedal's guts inside your NYC muff with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Blakemore Effects Posted April 4, 2011 Members Share Posted April 4, 2011 It would probably be easier to build a byoc muff kit. They're MXR size iirc Yeah. The pedal in the bottom right of the picture I posted is a BYOC Muff. As you mentioned in your other post though, building two pedals into one enclosure can be a lot of fun. On the DIY note, I ended up putting a Triangle Muff in the same enclosure as a Fuzz Face with BC108c transistors, and I get way more use out of that than I ever do with my rehoused NYC Muff. Just a suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hangwire Posted April 4, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 4, 2011 I should have added that it is a mod'd muff I already own- don't need suggestions As far as rhcp's post- that was my concern... If I can only get it 1" smaller, there is really no point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Poltergeist Posted April 4, 2011 Members Share Posted April 4, 2011 It is mandatory to post this here yeah, but that's not a rehouse Muff at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can only get it 1" smaller, there is really no point. Yeah. Again, don't get me wrong. It can definitely be done, but it just won't be a fun evening while you're doing it. Once I got mine situated though, it's packed in so tightly I don't think there is a chance anything could ever move inside there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members neoflox Posted April 6, 2011 Members Share Posted April 6, 2011 You can go smaller, I fit an original NYC Muff in a 125B (Musket-size) enclosure with all the original parts. Had to cut off 5mm edges from the pcb but everything fits in. I even added a tone bypass switch and noise gate trimmer. No pics right now since it was not my muff. It is doable.

Members hangwire Posted April 6, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 6, 2011 Not at all worth it. Now, if you had said grape soda, different story... and a subscription to orange soda monthly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members melx Posted April 6, 2011 Members Share Posted April 6, 2011 possible but not really worth it imo, easier to just build up a GGG board and use that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
