That's very kind Dave, truly appreciate your encouragement.
I found the box on amazon UK, but sure you could find something similar on your side of the pond. It measures 154 mm x 105 mm x 55 mm, perfect really, and only cost £3.19GBP/$3.96 USD.
Really looking forward to seeing your 'take' on it!
I think you are an excellent carver. Your unit fits perfect. I like one preamp for all the guits. I have an ugly still in it’s box that needs to be hacked into a nice box like yours.
Thanks for the encouragement Dave, I appreciate that a lot........but I've got a loooooong way to go before I'll be able to carve wood like you can!
Agree on the 'ugly' bit, hence my notion to try and tidy it up a bit if I could. Also, better as a floor unit to me for similar reasons, as well as being a bit too big to fit on many of the cigar boxes I can find here in the UK.....and obviously this will work with ALL my piezo equipped instruments so saves buying more!
Jumping ahead a bit, here's the box ready for finishing. Jack socket holes recessed and jacks mounted on walnut plates bonded inside the box, corners and edges rounded off, for that 'sucked lozenge' vibe.....!

Nice woodwork. Greatly improved look for those ugly plastic preamps!
