Title: Mangler 1590B drill template
Post by: avidgrim on August 30, 2013, 01:14:40 PM
Hi everyone. I'm new to all this and am starting with a mangler. Anyone have a drill template for a 1590B box if I'm using on board pots?

You're in luck! The Mangler build document has a drill template on the last page or so. It's set up around the fabbed Mangler PCB with the board-mount pots.

I would still mount the pots on the board and "eyeball" it before you commit to drill. Sometimes those templates are a tiny bit off. You'll have a mm or two flexibility in the pot lugs, but I like to get the drilling as close as possible first.

I see the wiring diagram, bill of materials, schematic, etc. but no drilling template in the project doc. Am I looking in the wrong place?

I just ordered 2 of these to do a couple variations. Funny how easy it is to get really sucked into this stuff.

You're right there is not a drill template.

You could always use this one for the jacks and switch. Then centre the pots yourself.

Okay, I have added a drill template to the last page of the Mangler doc.
