For those with 3D printing capabilities (not me) I think a great idea for a product would be a say a 10mm gasket that fits between the enclosure and the lid to effectively deepen it to enable socketing of transistors/larger caps etc.

Thoughts?

Make it a light plate and it can do double duty.

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

"They" do make a 1590T enclosure.

They don't look like a tall 1590a though :o

Yeah. The Smallbear 1590A-tall is excellent. It's about .25" taller.

That takes all the (evil, masochistic, only-a-crazy-person would take this on) fun out of it  ;D

You guys know my affinity for 1590A builds, you already know I have a few screws loose  ;)

If you don't go with a larger box, I think the best route would be to breadboard the circuit before committing to component choices. 1590a builds are—usually—rather straightforward and should be pretty quick to put together on a breadboard. Unless you plan on routinely swapping out components, of course.
