So the Veros are done, need testing but I dont know which lug of the 2.1mm DC Jack is + and -...
It has two lugs, one shorter than the other. I assume the longer one is positive but wanted to check - So which is which?

Re: From IC PC Board to Vero?
Well parts are ordered. Looking forward to getting this thing wired up, is it okay to get in touch via PM if I have any other problems?

Re: From IC PC Board to Vero?
I don't need the ground wire? At all? Thought the toggle would need to be grounded just like the footswitch... Or do neither the toggle or footswitch need the ground? So DPDT toggle like this then Completed Wiring Layout DPDT.jpg Also, I can use two mono jacks right? No need for a stereo jack anywhe...

Re: From IC PC Board to Vero?
Awesome. Looking forward to building this thing!
So an SPDT like this one would do the trick? http://shop.pedalparts.co.uk/SPDT_Toggl ... 73381.aspx
The outer pins are the two signals and the middle a ground correct?

Re: From IC PC Board to Vero?
My actual plan for this circuit is to use it with a JHS mini bomb boost vero I found. I plan to leave the pre amp on and want a clean boost for solos. I want the boost after the pre for a clean boost to make my signal louder not before driving the pre harder. If I wire the whole unit like this will ...

Re: From IC PC Board to Vero?
...So how'd I'd do?
DIYLC is a nice program, enjoyed using it! Fingers crossed I mapped the vero out correctly.

Re: From IC PC Board to Vero?
Yes, you can use those. Background info: You don't want to reverse the polarity on a polarized cap because it will die. Nonpolar electrolytics are useful when the voltage across the cap will swing both positive and negative. They are usually more expensive the polarized electros. In this case, the ...

Re: From IC PC Board to Vero?
Ah okay. Can I just use these no polarised Electrolytics and not have to worry about polarity? http://www.bitsbox.co.uk/capacitors/nonpolar.html
Here's the wiring layout the two blocks connected to the pots are capacitors, I didnt number them because I noticed you missed out a C4 on your schematic.

Re: From IC PC Board to Vero?
I have scrawled out how the circuit is wired (inputs, power, pots, switch and pcb) so will neaten it up and upload it when I finish. Then I'll be able to explain how they are wired up using the picture... I think its quite similar to the schematic you've posted but we'll see. How do I decide the val...

Re: From IC PC Board to Vero?
That looks better. That's a basic non-inverting boost with noiseless biasing. I take it you have an actual working unit that you copied this from? Mind sharing where it came from or what it's called? The input isn't shown, but it should go to the non-inverting input of the op amp, which is where th...

Re: From IC PC Board to Vero?
The general idea is to convert the layout to a schematic, then use the schematic to create a vero. There's no other recipe for going from a Radio Shack board to vero. Alternately you could find a schematic and use it to create a vero. Or you could just find a vero layout. What is the circuit? Some ...

Re: From IC PC Board to Vero?
Thanks, not sure how to apply that to the current circuit though. I want to go from board to vero not schematic to vero.

From IC PC Board to Vero?
Hi everyone, new here and this will be my first pedal build... The circuit I want to build is on a Radioshack IC PC Board (276-159) and I want to transfer it to vero to see if I can shrink the physical size circuit down. Trouble is I have no idea how to do this! I have soldering experience but only ...
