I got this enclosure from a forum member (Ian, you know who you are, thanks!) and wanted to make a Mission Control type of thing, master switch for the entire pedalboard.... What is in there? 5 loops, a built-in Bloviator, and some clever switching!
Here's the signal path:
Loop 1: Tuner, this will be in the signal path most of the time, as the tuner I use (Korg DT-10) has a pretty good buffer. Can be taken out for some buffer-shy fuzzes...
Loop 2: Wahwah, needs no further explanation
Loop 3: Boost/Overdrive/Distortion/Fuzz effects
Loop 4: Tremolo/Chorus/Flanger/Phaser/Delay effects
Loop 5: Always on booster/EQ
Bloviator: a lot of you guys know and love it, special sauce for your tone!
And these are the switching options:
Bloviator can be switched on or off
The order of loop 2 and loop 3 can be reversed, Wah into Fuzz, or Fuzz into Wah
Loop 5 can be at the end of the signal path (just before the Bloviator) or at the beginning (making it a loop 1.5, technically...)
Some pictures:

And inside:
When integrated into my setup, loops will be hard-wired to their respective switches, with the cables running through the ugly holes you see in the 2nd picture.
This was a royal bitch to wire up, 7 3PDT's (4 stomps, 3 toggle's), 5 LED's, Bloviator... I started out with some AWG22 stranded, but realized I could not get 2 of those into one pole of the 3PDT's, so I redid the whole thing with the solid core wire I love so much... Really, the photo's I posted don't do the wiring job justice. I'll try to get some better ones tomorrow.....
