Plan guitar pedal enclosure layouts with millimetre precision
A free browser-based tool for stompbox builders. Place holes, set exact coordinates, and export print-ready drill templates — no installation, no cost.
How it works
From idea to drill template in minutes
No guesswork, no graph paper. Just open the app, place your holes, and print.
Choose your enclosure
Pick from standard Hammond sizes — 1590A, 1590B, 125B, BB, and more — or enter any custom width and height. The canvas updates instantly.
Place your holes
Drag to position pots, jacks, switches, and LEDs. Fine-tune exact mm coordinates in the properties panel. Align, snap, and distribute with one click.
Export and drill
Download a to-scale PDF drill template or drill guide, export a clean SVG for laser cutting, or grab a DXF file for your CNC or CAD workflow.

A real project, up close
This is an actual project built with Stompbox Layout — every hole positioned and dimensioned, ready to export.
Features
Everything you need for clean builds
Built specifically for stompbox makers, with the precision and workflow a hobbyist actually needs.
Millimetre precision
Set hole positions to 0.01 mm with direct coordinate inputs. Real-time measurement lines show exact spacing between holes as you work.
Millimetres & inches
Work in whichever unit you prefer. Switch between millimetres and inches at any time — all coordinates, dimensions, and exports update automatically.
Enclosure presets
1590A, 1590B, 125B, 1590BB, and more standard Hammond sizes built in. Or enter any custom dimension for a non-standard enclosure.
PDF, SVG & DXF export
Download a true-to-scale PDF drill template to print, a clean SVG for laser cutting or vector editing, or a DXF file for CNC machining and CAD workflows.
Tayda drill integration
Convert your layout into step-by-step instructions for Tayda's Drill Template Tool — side labels, centre offsets, and diameters adjusted for powder coating, ready to enter.
SVG imports
Import SVGs of knobs, pots, jacks, and switches to visualise your build before drilling — packs like the Pedal Builder's Vector Pack work great.
Snap, align & distribute
Holes snap to each other, to the centre line, and to a configurable grid as you drag. Select multiple holes to align edges, centres, or distribute them evenly with one click.
Shareable layouts
Make any project public and share it with a link. Let others view your layout or clone it as the starting point for their own build.
Component library
Save multi-hole groups as reusable components — footswitches, jacks, pot clusters — and place them in any project with one click.
Project templates
Save any project as a reusable template and create new projects from it instantly. Great for standardised enclosure layouts you use again and again.
Embeddable widget
Embed a layout preview on your product page with a single
<iframe> tag. Perfect for PCB suppliers and
kit retailers. Learn more →
