As mentioned in the Guitar Effects FAQ, the best rugged and easily available box for effects is a die-cast aluminum one similar the the Hammond 1590 series. They're $5 - $12 depending on size and supplier. Many commercial effects use these. Mouser Electronics sells them mail order, as do many other suppliers. A super cheap and unabashedly ugly but sturdy alternative is a metal electrical junction box from the home-improvement hardware store. |

Definitely ugly, and very heavy to carry around, but if you paint them olive drab and put on a few CCCP decals, they start to look like Sovtek - built like a Russian tank!

Even better if you hook them together with short segments of conduit... |
