If you plan on using a different LED/clip/bezel size, you'll need to adjust the relevant hole accordingly.

nooooopeThis looks awesome! There was an issue with slider pots being unavailable previously, are they available again?
Do you know if the Tayda Drills for the 6-Band EQ (Slider ver) is verified yet?
Currently Untested. For use with a 3mm LED lens (https://www.taydaelectronics.com/leds/led-holders-bezels/3mm-led-lampshade-protector-clear.html)

Not yet. I’m 99% sure that I measured everything completely correctly (I referenced off both the drill template in illustrator, and the PCB of my existing 6-band that I drilled by hand to verify that the pdf was correct) but I haven’t had the money to do an enclosure order in the past few months lolDo you know if the Tayda Drills for the 6-Band EQ (Slider ver) is verified yet?
I created a Tayda template for the 6-Band EQ (slider ver) before I saw yours. When I compared them, I only noted a slight difference in the slider slots. Minare 3mm wide and a tad longer than yours. Everything else is spot - on. Except the top-mount jacks - they a wee bit more spread out.Not yet.

Planning on ordering a dozen enclosures after the holidays, and this will be one of them. Of course I also forgot to get another 6-band PCB in my last order too…
Certainly wouldn’t hurt to have the slots a bit bigger— I went with 2.5mm because the slider shafts are 1.7mm wide and the faceplate available thru PPCB is 2.2mm wide slots. The thickness of the powder coat should make it a nice clean fit without a substantial gap. I think the vintage MXR EQs had 3mm wide slots thoI created a Tayda template for the 6-Band EQ (slider ver) before I saw yours.

Thanks!
Awesome! Thanks for verifying it. just updated the text of the OP to 'Verified'Just because I had not seen this marked officially as “verified” I’m chiming in to declare it verified. Thank you so much, Nick/ @Bricksnbeatles!

edit to note – I moved the LED down to the left of the foot switch – but everything else is exactly per Nick’s template. And frankly, it’s the slider holes and the screw holes that matter and they are dead on.

I won’t say it’s clever but it’s the best I could do. Six band = Six gun. Geddit? I’m here all week. Try the veal.Awesome! Thanks for verifying it. just updated the text of the OP to 'Verified'
Forgot about this project for a while –– have the UV print graphics good to go except the name; I can't seem to come up with a clever pun I like enough to commit to print.
