Is there a graphic format available (to use in photoshop or something similar), blank, for various enclosures sizes in actual size ready for waterslide printing?
In particular I have need for 1590bb right now, but other sizes would be cool too (1790ns, 1590b, etc)
Thank you :)
I've shoved my Photoshop Templates here (http://juansolo.co.uk/stompage/pstemplates/).
Sizes are from 1590A (mini) to 1590XX (huge)
The layouts are laid out around Josh's Optotron board (apart from the mini which is a 3PDT). Generally they're quite tight. But it's all layers anyhow so you can move it all around.

Thanks for the links. Is Large the 1590bb? At 100% it looks HUGE. Not sure if it is meant to be 1:1 or not. A layer with dimensions would be super handy (knob 1 is .5 inches from both corners or whatever)
Still trying to figure this out, would be nifty to get a drill template and graphics pattern match :D

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately that file format is supported by an application that doesn't run on my operating system (OSX).
Pedal Vectorpack is what I use.

It works, you just need to fix the file name. If it says .svg.xml, delete the .xml part, and then you can use Inkscape to open the files.

Cool, thanks for sharing the templates
Thanks, I just grabbed the pedal vector package. Looks pretty cool!

Thank you for the links

Yep, large is 1590BB. Print it out and it should be the correct size. They do seem large on screen.
Which one is for the 125b size and 1590b? Thanks for your help.
juansolo,
I downloaded the pstemplates that you posted a while back. The templates have been very helpful for me to use as a base template design for creating guitar pedal images in photoshop. However I recently copied over the file I had for your 1590A enclosure and now the link to your website seems to be broken or dead.
Did you happen to move the templates to a new location on your site or did you just decide to take them down?
Any chance you might be able to provide a new link for us or maybe post a copy of your 1590A template that I could use?
If so, much appreciated as I'm currently building the bacon bits, runt, and afterlife and this template would be a lifesaver! Thanks! ;)
Ah yes, I did a lot of updates to them and forgot to put them back... They'll be back there in a sec
EDIT:
Back there now.
The CB1590B template is for a Camden Boss 1590B.
I've updated the 1590D/DD and it's now more accurate... It's also the template for a Space Ritual if you fancy making one ;)
The 1590Av2 is for a using 16mm pots and those new tiny jacks we've got.
The rest are pretty much as they were, all set up for Josh's Optotron boards.
Very cool!
Thanks for updating that link juansolo!
I went ahead and saved your new templates just in case I make the same mistake again.
Here's what my Bacon Bits (aka "Rocket Boost") design looks like that I created using your template. I replaced the 9vDC text with the cent_neg.jpg which I found on google.

Just like jimilee, I like the pedal vector pack myself. I use Inkscape and import them right into the project. Double click on the outlines you want (or use shift+ drag selection) and then I copy it into a new layer. Makes it really easy to visualize how the pedal will look, including knobs and hardware.
I like to put things on different layers, so I can turn them on/off at will. I usually do layers something like:
(in no particular order)
Enclosure Outline
Knobs/Hardware
Decal/Artwork
Drill points
PCB (if you want you can import that too)
Drillpoints
I get my drill points aligned up using the Allign/Distribute tool (SHIFT + CTRL + A). After that, it is awesome to just select the point, select a knob from the pedal vector pack and have it aligned right where it should be. The alignment tool is one of my favorite features about Inkscape. Makes it super easy to make sure things are in a straight line. Then you can turn off the "knobs" layer and just print out your decal/waterslide/etch etc....I leave the drill points there so I can also use it as a drilling template. Whoo hoo!

Haven't tried these out as I'm not as versed using illustrator as I am with photoshop. I did download the pedal vector pack though and really like what I see in the templates with all the "actual size" knobs and hardware options available.
When I get some more time I'll have to delve into illustrator and see if I can come up with something usable for future projects.
