Hi everyone!

Andy from Keech Design DrillJigs here. I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm running a sale this weekend (20% off all orders), and update you on my newest products! After much demand, I've finally released DrillJigs for the Gorva C-65 and S-90 enclosures, as well as a second generation jig for the 1590BB with a LOT more hole locations covering both landscape and portrait orientation builds (I decided to name it the "SwissCheese" because of all the holes  .

If interested, use the promo code PEDAL23 on my website at checkout www.keechdesign.com. Thanks everyone, and happy building!

Hi everyone!

I'm new to these forums, as I haven't been a huge pedal builder in the past, but more of an engineer and maker/tinkerer that got into 3D printing a year ago. A friend of mine that builds all the pedals for a nationally known pedal company, and after some brainstorming, Keech Design was formed with the goal of helping builders make this step quicker and easier, from new builders to other businesses selling pedals. I currently have 3D printed jigs for 1590B, 1590BB, and 125B style enclosures, with a 1590A style jig prototype in the works.

The 125B Jig has hole spacing that accomdates many of the cool PedalPCB boards/kits, and I've attached a picture of the three with this post. You can see other examples from builders on my Instagram!

I just wanted to make a post stating that I'm running a deal this weekend where I'll throw in a free 1590A prototype with any order, so I can get as much feedback as possible and improve the design where I can! Here's a video overview of how the jigs are used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hshQT9wuHow

Hello!

My name is Andy Keech, owner and founder of Keech Design LLC. While I don't do a ton of pedal building myself, I have always been a huge audio nerd, and have been building and repairing audio gear for close to a decade. Immediately after I graduated high school, I went to a school for audio engineering, and after working in that field for a few years, decided to go back to school for a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering.

I recently started a company that designs and makes 3D printed drilling jigs to help my builder friends speed up the most tedious part of their builds--the marking and drilling for component holes. Getting your pots, switches, 1/4" jacks and DC jack holes drilled symetrically, consistent when doing large production runs, and professional looking is the key to a great looking product, and it seemed the DIY pedal community had a need for something they could use rather than taping paper templates to enclosures and hoping for the best.

My goal is to create jigs for the most common enclosures, while being as universal as possible. This gives the builder the ability to create standard pedal layouts, or for you wild builders, to make all sorts of creative layouts! An

Currently, I have only released jigs for the 1590B and 1590BB enclosures, but am working on finalizing the design for 125B enclosure jigs, as well as a simple (and cheaper) tool for 1590A boxes. You can view a few of the product images I've attached, or visit www.keechdesign.com for more info. I wanted to join this forum to get a better idea of what the people want when it comes to jigs, and to help the community as much as possible with my jigs. Feedback is always welcome and encouraged as I continue to revise and release new jigs, and am looking for as much feedback for the upcomming 125B-style jig as I can get! An extra cheesy demo/instructional video for how we reccomend using the jigs can be seen here:

Finally, I just wanted to say what a pleasure it has been meeting pedal builders, and seeing all of the small businesses and their amazing builds! The DIY pedal community has been extremely kind and welcoming, and it's an absolute pleasure to join the forum!

Cheers!
Andy
