Thoughts on Power I/O Module?

[szukalski]

Anyone using the Power I/O module?

I like the idea of having a bunch pre-made for builds, components can be found easily at Daier, and I have penchant for enclosed sockets.

Only thing I am curious on is how clean the DC jack hole looks, and if there is any issue getting a DC jack in with the DC socket being on the inside of the enclosure.

I've used them in a couple builds:

Lone King Overdrive

Another great board by the folks here at PedalPCB. If you dig tube screamers, this variant offers a little more versatility and sounds pretty good too. I'm not sure that it lives up to the hype that this pedal gets but I'm sure that many will find it useful. The enclosure is Matte Army Green...

Delegate Compressor (Boneyard Edition)

Went together without a hitch and worked on the first go. This is a nice-sounding, but very subtle compressor. The enclosure used for this project is a Tayda Matte Black Sand 125B (undrilled) using Tayda's UV printing service with a double pass of white and a gloss varnish over all of the...

I haven't had any issue with plugging in power, but the I/O jacks do stick out a bit more than I'd like. You may want to hold out for the newer flush-mount version: https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/pcb429/

Any physical interference with the main circuit board? I desire to integrate these on future builds, and am curious if you have to adjust spacing of other parts to accomodate this, or if its more or less good to go with the standard drill templates.

The I/O boards are low-profile with the jacks that are specified. I don't recall having issues with vertical spacing between the main and I/O boards on the few builds that I used them on. The standard drill template with staggered vertical alignment will not work with these boards, you'd need to use the drill template found on the product page.

Thank you Brett, I suppose I should have specified that vertical clearance, with respect to the “north” side of the board.. like if the drill holes for the top mounted pots orient the IO board’s “south” side too close.
I prefer to take the 125D drill templates and adapt onto 1590BBS/BB2 enclosures for a bit more wiggle room.
Shoot, I also typically move the power Jack to be in-line horizontally with the foot switch, side mounted on the left side of the finished enclosure, just to have enough play to remove the board without desoldering the internal nut power jacks.
