Laying out a pedal, especially when you’re on your first few builds can be a pain in the … yeah… and even now the pro’s still make mistakes! We’ve created a series of Free SVG files to help you layout your pedal in Illustrator (or any software that can open SVG). The files we have in the zip below are:
- Enlcosures:
— Hammond 1590A
— Hammond 1590B
— Hammond 1590BB
- Components
— Alpha 16mm PCB Mount Potentiometer
— Alpha 16mm PCB Right Angle Mount Potentiometer
— Alpha 9mm PCB Straight Mount Potentiometer
— Alpha 9mm PCB Right Angle Mount Potentiometer
— Alpha 3PDT Footswitch
— Toggle (single pole)
— Toggle (double pole)
— Toggle (tripple pole)
— 2.1mm DC Jack (12mm drill size)
— 6.35mm Mono Input Jack (tru-connect)
— Lumberg 2.1mm DC Jack (8mm drill size)

- Info sheets (giving dimensions both internally and externally)
— Hammond 1590A
— Hammond 1590B
— Hammond 1590BB
To use the files, simply unzip the folder, open up a new file (or existing) in Illustrator, press ctrl/command+shift+p to “place” a file, then select whichever enclosure/component you need…that’s it!
You can print out your layout at 100% size and use it for a drill template too and it’s handy for seeing where your graphics will sit in relation to your drill holes.
These files are all created to scale to help take a lot of the guess work out when laying out a pedal – we still won’t take responsibility if you drill your holes wrong…remember this is just a guide!
Please share the link to this page and/or the files – we’re all about giving back to the community in anyway we can help! If there’s a component you’d like us to add – just drop us a message and we’ll see what we can do!
