About this drill template
Drill template for the Fuzz Dog Clapton Mid Boost, sized for a Hammond 1590B enclosure (59.3 × 111.2 × 27 mm). The pre-positioned holes match the PCB's pot footprint exactly, with the footswitch centred below the 2-knob layout. Print at 1:1 scale, tape to the enclosure face, centre-punch, and drill. PCB and parts not included.
Fuzz Dog description: “NOTE: this has unavoidable switch pop. Consider it an always-on effect.”
The active mid boost from Eric Clapton's Signature Stratocaster, moved off the guitar and into an enclosure, with up to about 25dB available.
This one has unavoidable switching pop, so Fuzz Dog suggest treating it as an always-on effect rather than something you stamp on mid-song.
Build notes
Two-knob layouts leave plenty of space inside the enclosure: the PCB, jacks, and 9V supply all have room to breathe.
The Hammond 1590B is the standard small DIY pedal enclosure: compact enough for a crowded board, large enough for most single-effect PCBs and a 9V battery.
Vendor specs: PCB 50 x 30mm, build difficulty easy.
Drill measurements
Hole centres for the 1590B 2-Knob (Type 1) layout. X runs left to right from the centre of the face being drilled. On the enclosure face, Y is measured from the centre, positive towards the top. For holes on a side, Y is the distance down the wall, measured from the face edge. Export the PDF for a 1:1 printable version with a scale check.
