I have a bigger question: why do I want one?

I guess Ross Effects are back (grandson of the original owner is involved) and making the compressor and distortion circuits:https://reverb.com/news/ross-effects-pe ... ndary-line

That is the best enclosure of any pedal! If someone's interested in building me a Supa Tonebender clone in one of those boxes I'd be into it! It's 3 knobs so you could put a really small tone knob on the back side by the jacks. I love the recessed volume and gain knobs.

I was referring more to the ergonomics of the box. The recessed knobs and the slanted front where the switch is. I could give a fuck what my pedals look like, I just don't want them to take up a ton of space on my board- the main reason I don't have my tonebender on there.

Seems like you see internal controls on lots of pedals now(EP Boosters have internal DIP switches, no?).

While I don't really need another fuzz, the enclosures are pretty sweet...- https://www.instagram.com/p/BwM-au9H4uS/- https://www.instagram.com/p/BwVjYZzHpgL/- https://www.instagram.com/p/BwaTMBbnC6h/

There's these enclosures around nowadays that achieve a recessed sort of thing.
