Hi !
In designing a PCB for Distortion/High Gain circuit (9V supplay),
how to manage the ground , I mean...

is it better leave just the tracks that the circuit needs
or
is it good spreading grounds as much as possible filling all empty space (in respect to isolation) ?

Tx

Whenever I designed PCBs I always filled the empty space with ground. You cannot have too much ground track and it saves on etching chemicals.
