Enclosure
SWITCHES:
2x SPST (or SPDT) toggle (or
one toggle and one SPST/SPDT
footswitch, if making the footswitch)
1x DPDT toggle (two position)
HARDWARE:
2x mono quarter-inch jacks
2x stereo quarter-inch jacks (optional,
for the footswitch)
1x stereo eighth-inch jack
1x enclosure for the amp, I used 125B size
1x 1590LB jack (optional, for the footswitch)
1x DC jack
3x knobs of your choice
1x 5mm LED + bezel
NOTE: I included an LED on my footswitch, but I decided not to connect it after
hearing the marginal gain it offered.
Let’s do it! There aren’t many steps to this, mostly because the entire thing is
subjective as to component placement, unlike a pedal. Most of the steps involve
feeding the wires from the board to their appropriate appointments.
