Operating panel

The original pathfinder operating panel has the following items:

  • An input jack socket;
  • Gain knob;
  • Overdrive/clean selector;
  • Treble knob;
  • Bass knob;
  • Volume knob;
  • Head phone / Line out jack socket;
  • Power LED
  • Power switch

The Molly kit, however has a totally different other of items:

  • Power switch
  • Power light
  • Volume knob
  • Cut knob
  • Gain knob
  • Hi input jack socket
  • Li input jack socket

I decided not to mirror the internals of the Molly, so I needed to mirror the input & outputs. Most holes needed to be enlarged, so no problems there. The power switch had a rectangular hole and I didn’t want to use the LED hole: a small aluminium plate fixed this. Below the result!

Chickenhead knobs are to be ordered… The original pathfinder used self-tapping knobs, the Molly kit had set-screw pots, so I need to order some new knobs :-(. These knobs should fit and are of the same dimensions as the originals.

So the dials are:

  • Treble: master volume
  • Bass: cut
  • Volume: gain (overdrive from level 5 and up)
