Drilling the cases is my least fav job tbh; well that and labeling. Always fearful of mucking it up and only ever buy enough cases for the job I'm working on, so measure about 3 times before committing.
No one ever died of hard work.. but why take the risk..

It's a bummer that tayda don't sell enclosures with placements for less than 3 controls.

I used the pedalpcb drilling template, but i used it three times rather than once... learning curve. :)

3 in a row is the hardest, use a punch ( or a screw as I did for years) to mark out, then drill guide holes. I have bought a bunch of 3mm bits for guide holes, work best if sharp. i'd leave that one in that enclosure, surely the noise gate belongs on a toggle in a multi fx of your own creation.
