PatchBay for MonoLite
- Jason Berry
Welcome to your new Pedalnetic PatchBay for MonoLite Pedalboards!
Install Instructions
Slide the drill-guide onto the edge of your pedalboard like shown below:
Make sure it is fully seated against the pedalboard by ensuring there is no gap between the finger-hole-cutouts and the pedalboard lip:
The PatchBay Drill Guide comes with 2 sets of markings: Red for flush-mounting and Blue for recessed mounting. You only need to drill out 1 set of holes (4 total); of course you can drill both if you’d like, just don’t over-size your holes so they join together

Our recommendation for drilling is to use a center punch to mark the centers of the holes you want, drill a small pilot hole around the size of your punch divot to ensure your drill-bit does not walk out of alignment, and then finish drilling the hole. The recommended drillbit size is 4mm or 5/32”, however the maximum size you can use is a 1/4”. The washer will still cover it, but you should only step-up that large if you’ve mis-drilled and need a little grace in the screw positions to match up to the threads.
Make sure you hold the mount flush against the edge, but also the arms flush-down against the top (signified by the orange arrow directions below; You don’t need to push hard, just make sure they’re sitting flush):

The PatchBay is designed to sit very-tightly under the pedalboard. This is because if you torque down on the mounting screws and it was NOT a tight fit, it can actually curve the pedalboard a bit, so we made the fit as tight/molded as possible to the pedalboard. Therefor if you have blowout on the rear of the screw holes like shown below, you will need to file them down flush for the patchbay to slide in properly.
Once you’ve filed down the interior of the screw holes, simply slide the PatchBay in and install the 4 screws with their washers:
