Enclosure Drilling & Offboard Wiring

Lesson Overview: Enclosure Drilling & Offboard Wiring

This is the lesson where your pedal leaves the workbench—and enters its final form.

You’ve got your circuit, now it’s time to box it up. This session covers everything you need to know about preparing your enclosure, positioning your hardware, and wiring up the essential offboard components for a gig-ready build.

In this lesson, you’ll learn:

• How to select and size your enclosure based on circuit complexity and board dimensions.
• What jacks, switches, and power connections are required—and how to wire them.
• Why using a TRS jack for power switching can save your battery life.
• Practical tips for layout, drilling, and assembling your hardware cleanly and reliably.

By the end of this lesson, your pedal won’t just function—it’ll be ready for the stage, the studio, or the front row of your pedalboard.
