About this drill template
Drill template for the Fuzz Dog Mad Mule Vertical - Neil Young's Weld and Rust tones in a box, 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 5-knob layout. Print at 1:1 scale, tape to the enclosure face, centre-punch, and drill. PCB and parts not included.
Fuzz Dog description: “Also available in horizontal format if you like that kind of thing.”
The Crazy Horse, chasing Neil Young's Weld and Rust tones. This is the vertical board; the same circuit is also sold in horizontal format.
Build notes
Five-knob designs typically reserve the extra pot for a tone shaping control: a presence, a mid scoop, or a parametric centre frequency.
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 36mm, build difficulty medium.
Drill measurements
Hole centres for the 1590B 5-Knob (Type 2) 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.

Jig B covers 1590B 5-Knob (Type 2)
Drop it over the enclosure, punch a mark through the holes this build uses, then lift it off and drill. It wraps onto the sides too, so the jacks and DC socket are covered.
