About this drill template
Drill template for the PedalPCB Kliché Boost, sized for a Hammond 125B enclosure (63.6 × 119.3 × 35.8 mm). The pre-positioned holes match the PCB's pot footprint exactly, with the footswitch centred below the 3-knob layout. Print at 1:1 scale, tape to the enclosure face, centre-punch, and drill. PCB and parts not included.
PedalPCB description: “Compare to Archer Clean”
PedalPCB's Kliché board built as a cleaner Klon-style boost, compared to the J. Rockett Archer Clean. It keeps the dual-gang gain control (labelled Color here) and the charge pump, but swaps the germanium clipping diodes for silicon.
Klon-style clean boost: glassy top end and a gentle mid push without the drive.
Same PCB family as the Kliché Mini, so the drill layout is identical; only the diodes and the pot label change.
Build notes
Three-knob layouts give you the full gain / EQ / volume triplet without crowding the enclosure. There's room inside for the PCB, jacks, and a 9V supply.
The Hammond 125B is one of the most common DIY pedal enclosures: a touch larger than a 1590B, slightly smaller than a 1590BB, with room for almost any single-effect PCB plus 9V supply.
Vendor specs: Includes 3PDT breakout board for easier wiring. Designed for a 125B enclosure with top-mounted jacks

Drill measurements
Hole centres for the 125B 3-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.
| Hole | Face | X (mm) | Y (mm) | Diameter |

| Pot | Enclosure face | -16.5 | 38.1 | 7 mm (0.28 in) |
| Pot | Enclosure face | 16.5 | 38.1 | 7 mm (0.28 in) |
| Pot | Enclosure face | 0 | 12.7 | 7 mm (0.28 in) |
| Footswitch | Enclosure face | 0 | -45 | 12 mm (0.47 in) |

Never drilled one before? How to drill a pedal enclosure walks you through the entire process, from punching the centres to the final step drill size.
Jig A covers 125B 3-Knob (Type 1)
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.
