About this drill template
Drill template for the PedalPCB Referee EQ, 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 6-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 Broughton Audio Resonant Filter Equalizer”
Compared to the Broughton Audio Resonant Filter Equalizer. Instead of fixed bands you get high-pass, low-pass and mid sections, each with its own frequency control: closer to the tone-shaping section of a studio channel strip than a typical pedal EQ.
Build notes
Six-knob layouts are about as much as a single-row enclosure comfortably fits: modulation depth, multi-band EQ, multi-stage compression all live here.
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: Designed for a 125B enclosure with top-mounted jacks

Drill measurements
Hole centres for the 125B 6-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.

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 B covers 125B 6-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.
