I just finished up doing a 5U conversion of the E560 Deflector Shield. It's basically the same as my E580 conversion but I took some photos and built a web page for it. Most of the conversion details are on my 580 page. This is a very nice module!

These look great. I assume the DIY kits for these are no longer available. Paul? Richard Brewster http://pugix.com

No, I have like 60 boards here. So kits for either E560 or E580 (same pcb). Paul S.

That's really a nice panel design, Dave! And a nicely done web page also. That'll be handy for others. I'm glad I didn't try to drill holes for the mounting screws - I don't know if I was aware of the inner planes. By the way, for the 560, did you experiment with using a log pot for the main effect knob? My experience is that the effect comes on too slowly, and someone suggested using a log pot, but I'm not sure that would make the correct difference. Steve

I got the E560 and E580 DIY boards, and also FPE panels from Dave Brown's designs. I removed the switches and pots today. I want to use the pot mounting holes to mount the board to a bracket, so I don't have to drill holes in the corners of the PCB. Maybe I didn't get all the solder out of the pot mounting holes, because a 4-40 nylon screw doesn't quite fit through. If I removed all the solder would they fit? Or if I drilled them out to 1/8 inch, would that risk damaging the board? Thanks, Richard Brewster http://pugix.com

I think Dave mentioned the dangers of drilling holes in these pcbs on his site somewhere - I believe there's some inner copper plane of some sort, and unless you're very careful you risk shorting it out and damaging the unit. There are other ways you can mount the pcb - I used a bunch of nylon standoffs - threaded on one end, and with pcb clips on the other end - mouser sells these; and then used zip ties to hold the pcb down on these - you can kind of see this in this pic - https://flic.kr/p/dnLSJz -Steve

You could use some M2.5 or M2 screws. http://www.rapidonline.com/mechanical-fastenings-fixings/toolcraft-polyamide-slotted-cheese-head-screws-din-84-524687 Quicker and cheaper, thread some solid insulated wire through the holes and twist the ends together. -- Andr\ufffd Majorel http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/
