PT2399 Circuit Enclosure Preparation

For this guitar reverb circuit, I managed to find a recycled enclosure that had a good chance of working after some modifications. It was ideal for my needs as the front panel was plastic and it is easier to drill holes into it. I drilled holes in the front panel to mount the potentiometers, phase selector switch, and jack socket for the foot switch connection.

I also had to drill holes for the hex risers for PCB mounting. I decided to stack the boards using hex pillars, however in the final construction I placed the power supply board underneath as I needed to have more access to the main audio board to measure basic parameters from the PT2399 IC.

The ¼-inch jack socket is for the trails foot switch; however I have also included a by-pass switch for it when the foot switch is not connected. At the back, I also added a reset switch in case of the start-up bug. Luckily, I have never had to use it!
