Description

This is a pedal enclosure designed for the Matsumin ValveCaster Circuit. It's fully functional and looks great in any color! I used universal guitar pedal parts on amazon including the input/output jacks, stomp switch, and 9v power supply at the top. Links can be found at the bottom for exact parts I used. SPECS Pedal without shroud: 129 x 101.1 x 44mm Pedal with shroud: 139 x 111.1 x 123.81mm You can easily print this on any printer due to its size and ease of printing. I used my Anycubic Kobra S1 to make this. -2 side holes for input and output jacks, universal fit -3 potentiometer holes for adjustments according to the valvecaster's wiring: Volume, Tone, and Gain -1/2" stomp switch hole to kill the overdrive -Universal mounting holes for the tube saddle -An approximate 9mm hole at the top for a DC 9v power jack -Easy access slide-on friction held back panel: no need for screws! Once the circuit is complete just slide in the backplate and it'll hold with friction. -Plug2.stl is for those who don't want to run a tone knob like me. It's a little loose so just glue it in place. -Optional printable shroud: makes the pedal bloom and also protects the tube from being stepped on by accident. That'll break first. It's easy to install: just slip it on top of the pedal. It's also friction fit so you can just slide it on without using any screws or adhesives! It also locks the back panel from sliding out underneath. Parts I used: Tube saddle- https://a.co/d/02rEiRtC Tube- https://a.co/d/0eqsPISP (it's a 12ax7, which means more gain than the standard 12au7. If you want just a preamp or light overdrive, use the 12au7. If you want high gain for hard rock, use the 12ax7.) 9V input jack- https://a.co/d/0bKPceyg A100k Pots- https://a.co/d/0cKxjONE A50k Pots- https://a.co/d/09nqpwcT (This version has a switch built in the bottom. Just wire it if you want a killswitch in the pedal. If not, skip it and use the pot normally.) 6.35mm Jacks- https://a.co/d/0iWp7Gdd (I recycled old ones but these have similar specs.) Stomp switch: https://a.co/d/0gF390qd Resistor kit- https://a.co/d/0aSAT9x7 Capacitor kit- https://a.co/d/08z1lnhv Filament: I used Silk PLA for the shroud and ABS for the main pedal/back panel assembly. The reason I chose ABS is because of its heat resistance- the tube gets a little toasty being powered by 9 volts and even warmer powered by 12 volts. You don't want to have a warped pedal, you know! If you can't use ABS I would recommend using High temperature rated PETG. For the shroud it should not matter what filament since it's more decorative that functional, but it still helps!
