I have built a VC mini to control Boss Katana amps. I didn't need to control anything else and wanted it to be as professional looking as possible, i.e. to look and feel like a commercial pedal.

The position of the power and USB sockets is very close to each other and at a right angle so that in however you pull on the wrapped double cable (power and usb) you cannot unplug either.
I used a 1590DD enclosure and led light diffusers. I also bottom-mounted the pcb so that no screws showed on the top of the pedal. I used a 6.35mm jack for the expression pedal socket. I positioned one encoder on each side on the screen so that they are more out of the way (of the feet). I spaced the footswitches further part so that you cannot dual click by mistake - I chose a similar spacing as the Helix Stomp (70mm apart). I've added light insulation around the display to have no light bleed in the dark and a hammer paint job.
