Title: workin on a layout... need some feedback

So I'm working on a distortion pedal and I'm having a bit of a dilemma on toggle switches vs stomp switches.

there are 3 functions: Bypass, Boost, and Crunch/Lead

a 1590BB isn't large enough to accommodate three stomp switches and still be functional (IMHO) even if it is in landscape orientation. My preference is to keep it in a BB enclosure rather than going to a larger 1790NS

There is room for 2 stomp switches and a toggle.

So the question is, which function gets assigned to the toggle switch; boost or Crunch/Lead?

what do you find to be more useful in a stomp switch?

I would think you'd want the boost on a switch.

I'd say crunch should be a toggle

Boost on the footswitch, Crunch on the toggle.

Plexi away.

I'll go against the grain and suggest three stomps in landscape. Try a mockup with the center one as close to the front edge as posssible and the two outers up some from the front edge. Did this on an echo base and works fine with my size 13's.

1590Q= square equal to the long side of a bb
