Hammond Manufacturing, also at Northern Manufacturing, has recently introduced the 1590 die-cast enclosures family, with 41 different sizes in standard rectangular and Stomp box formats. Stomp boxes, colour coded to provide visual quick identification on stage are the housings of choice for leading stomp box manufacturers. Also known as guitar effect pedals, they are the housings for foot-operated equipment used by electric guitarists to produce preset effects such as distortion, wah-wah, delay, chorus and phaser. Two new sizes, the 1590 BX2, 254x70x35mm, and 1590 BX, 254x 70x51mm, have been added to the range to allow multiple pedals to be mounted in a single enclosure.
