Funny that you keep your iron to the left while being right handed. Because I keep my iron to the right while I'm left handed. For me, it seems like it makes the cable more manageable and the cross-over reach feels more natural. I compare it to a hi-hat and snare on a drum set. Many people play the hat with their dominant yet mount it on their non-dominant side. It's also likely that top/down reach is best done across the torso while level to under reach is best done directly. Surely, I'm wrong and overthinking it but I've spent some of my career laying out ergonomic workstations and found this rationale has been most successful.

I also really like the small test setup :) I think the toggle switch makes such a huge difference, I wouldn't hesitate to take it out and throw in a 2PDT footswitch.

How did you mount the board in the enclosure to stop it wobbling around? Looks like it might be stuck on with a bunch of electrical or double sided tape?

It doesn't alway work out for me but it mostly does. You can get pots in the middle if you have enough room to add a line somewhere in the circuit. The biggest problem i run into if im not etching my own board is that i might not get the pots exactly where i would have liked them. It all works out in the end. Edit: I also sometimes use plastic standoffs epoxied into the bottom of the encloser when my circuit is very large and i want to float it above other electronics.

Could you shove multiple effects into on box, I have a dream of making my own pedal when it’s just delay>reverb>overdrive>fuzz>chorus; just taking my pedal board shoving it into one brick. The toggle would only be to engage and disengage the fuzz with all else staying the same.
