Who has a BB enclosure vertically oriented with 3 footswitches?

I know I've seen a couple. I'm considering having a pedal made with 3 footswitches, so I'm looking for people who have actually tried it. How hard is it to stomp accurately?

Oh, it's no problem! Easy!



Of course, I wear these shoes:

I should have seen that one coming. As I told another TBer recently - I have pretty accurate toes.

It can be done. That's a looper above, but you can definitely throw the middle footswitch lower to compensate for a board with pots underneath. It's a tight fit, but possible.

If you have them staggered a little bit (center switch up front, others set back a little) then it isn't too bad, but you'll want to make sure you have some space on either side of it. I have had some problems getting accurate stomps out of it, but only when I had it tight to buttons on the left or right.

That's what I figured. The pedals I've seen had the staggered switch placement.

Can you post a pic of your pedal?

[cheapbasslovin]

No because I didn't read the OP very well and failed to notice the word 'vertical.'

Fail.

Sorry.

Well, I figure the middle switch could be lower than the other two. The middle would be the bypass, and the sides would be tap-tempo and expression-control engage.

Not what you're looking for but this is what I've got.

The pic I posted is vertical w/ three switches, mang. It can be done!

I saw, but this pedal will also have at least 5 knobs and a flipswitch or two... So I won't be able to give that middle one as much space up top.

I may have to buckle and go horizontal... I just hate having pedals that are wider than they are long. It totally pisses me off! LET'S KILL A HUMAN!
