Rehousing pedals

[obblitt]

I have two Danelectro Cool Cat Transparent Overdrives (which I LOVE by the way), and I want to put them both in a single enclosure. I was thinking Hammond 1790...

Anyway... I don't know where to start. The only change to the pedals I want to make is changing the stacked bass/treble controls into individual pots. I'm not sure where to start with this project. I've only built one pedal before, and that happened to be the Monte Allums OD-308 (kit), and I'm not so sure what I'm doing. I'm good with an iron, but still...

Obviously I want to use only one DC power jack, and I don't really know where to start with that either. I'd like to change the LEDs for the hell of it, seeing as how all the pedals on my board have blue LEDs.

Anybody wanna help?

That would help you with the rewiring.

As for the dual pot, measure the resistance across each pot outside lugs, then buy a pair of pots which match the ones on the dual pot. Wire them up the exact same way.

The LED's can probably be changed out directly. If it's too dim, decrease the size of the resistor going into it. If it's too bright, increase it.

What do you mean only use one DC power jack? The Dan pedal has a board mounted DC jack, correct? Just remove the jack, buy a panel mounted one, and wire it up the same way. Youdon't even have to remove the DC jack, if you think the wires connected to the board will hold without having to be anchored in some PCB holes.

I mean that two pedals are going into one enclosure, and I want to use one power jack to power both circuit.

Thanks for the link!

Just wire the power to the two circuitboards in parallel. It's really pretty straightforward.
