Box of Rock
The Box of Rock pedal is designed to emulate the classic JTM45 tone. It offers great headroom and allows you to control the distortion level directly from the guitar's volume knob.Steps

Enclosure and wiring Step 4 of 5
PLACEMENT
Mount the assembled PCB and the rest of the components (DC jack, input/output jacks, 9V battery clip, 3PDT foot switches, leds...) in a metal enclosure. Connect the ground of the circuit to the enclosure (the ground of the jacks are in contact with the enclosure). The following figure show the components mounted in a 1590BB enclosure.
Use a pair of flat-nose pliers to snap off the anti-rotation tab on each potentiometer.
WIRING
Use a 24 AWG stranded wire to connect all components as shown in the following figure. The order in which you connect the ground (GND) does not matter, as long as all components are eventually connected. The diode led requires a current limiter resistor, a value between 2.2kΩ and 4.7kΩ is recommended for standard LEDs. The figure below shows the wiring for a negative-tip DC connector.
PCB FOR 1590BB ENCLOSURE (PCB and Instructions)
This PCB simplifies building your DIY guitar pedal in a 1590BB enclosure. With the LED, jacks, and footswitches mounted directly to the board, you only need to wire the battery and the effect PCB. Connect the 1590BB PCB and the effect PCB as shown in the figures below.
