If you take the template from the Kazoo and flip it I think you'll be in business.
I looked to see if there was another ZVEX pedal that was close.
Sure enough, the "Distortr" has the pots in the exact same position it looks like!
The pot needs to be moved over.
In the Distortr, there are two, but the one that is similar to the Basstortr looks to be in the same Y position, but is aligned with the wiper of the pot on the X-axis. The Basstortr appears to line up with the inner-edge of the Volume pad, which I think is Pin 1 and the ground pad! So, I just need to move it outboard and I think it will work!
Hope so since I have not heard back. I'll mark up a paper template and ensure works first.

@Nostradoomus is correct, the Kazoo is a similar template, only mirrored.
This should be what you need.

Is it the same as the fuzz cadet?

You can also just measure it out with a pencil and a ruler. I have never used a template. Admittedly, I have effed some enclosures, but mostly because I was on autopilot.
Find the centerline and you're good.

Thanks guys. I ended up used the Distortr and measure it out. It was something like .125" outboard and built it up over the weekend!
installed perfectly and besides that, nice Bass Distortion pedal! I actually built it for reknown bass playin the Detroit are and friend of mine of 40 years! He played it at a packed gig on Saturday and LOVED IT!!! Bonus. Enjoy!...and I'll be building one for myself in the near future!

Thanks for the heads up, that'll be corrected (should be 82R) as soon as the updated doc is uploaded.
Basically yep. Bright switch bypasses the "speaker sim" RC filters on the output.

It would be awesome if when you get around to putting up the drill docs you also make a Tayda Drill Template.
