I managed to rackmount an E-H Nano Small Stone and a Maxon 900ms Analog Delay in a Middle Atlantic 1-space enclosure. I then added true bypass relay switching for both units and use a CFX4 MIDI Switcher from Axess Electronics to switch each effect in and out from my SWR Mo' Control pedalboard.

Here's some pics:


Kind of a spaghetti mess of wires, but it's secure and works!


The LEDs contain three mini bulbs (blue, green, and red), so for the Small Stone, I put a resistor on the blue and tied it to the green to make an aqua LED, and for the Delay, I put a resistor on the red and tied it to blue to make a purple LED. Pretty cool!


The CFX4 MIDI Switcher - very compact and velcros into the back side panel of the rack.


In my rack...


My Christmas lights... :D
 
That's awesome!! Looks like something you would buy in a music store....
only better. Very clean and professional. Nice Job! 8)
 
nice work. I've never seen or thought of doing that before. 8)
 
looks really wel done! all that trouble just to make them work with your control board. haha.
 
man as i already told you, if i could understand only half of what you did, i would already be selling that stuff in series :D
 
Very nice work there Maddy.I can really appreciate the work involved here,you've done a fantastic job mate. :D
 
Thanks all for the compliments. :)

I have seen some stuff out there where where two or three small effects pedals are rehoused into one pedal, or effects like the Danelectro FAB Flanger and FAB Echo are modded for more functions (the echo became a full analog delay) and then put together in another pedal housing.

It's a fun hobby for giving old pedals new life, but I have to admit I was nervous tearing apart my Maxon AD-999 after having paid over $200 for it! But it was worth it in the end. :D
 
Here's a link to Youtube of that dual FAB pedal mod called "Superillegal Fudgemaker"

And the 3-in-one FAB Chorus+Nano SmallStone+Micro Q-Tron all in the Micro Q-Tron's housing:
