My build used a 1032L, though a Hammond 1590BX is similar in size, though shallower, and will probably work well too if care is taken to fit the PCB. The PCB was laid out with a 1590BB in mind. I used JLCPCB in China to manufacture the boards. The files to make a board can be found in the /GerberFiles folder. This is something I may address in a future iteration. This is 76x36mm in size, so is a bit awkward to fit in some enclosures with the switches and LEDs. Use an LED Calculator, the supply voltage will be 5V, the forward voltage and current will depend on your LED, check the datasheet.Ī PCB design is available for convenience as used in my own pedal.

The GA-FC is the master foot controller for most stage-ready BOSS and Roland amps. The map of channels to connections is below, with HIGH meaning the connection is shorted to the sleeve and LOW meaning open circuit. The channels and banks are selected by shorting either the tip or ring to the Sleeve. Basically you can make them, but don't sell them.
