Canada Post really sucks! :x Still no sign of my boards/components. That's typical, though. My grandmother sent our boys some valentines cards on the same day, but they arrived almost 2 weeks apart from each other :roll:

Haven't got mine yet either, they'll come. Maybe customs or the RCMP is investigating to make sure they're safe. Our tax dollars at work. :wink:

Excellent Bean!

Pay close attention to the random cap/resistor locations. They make perfect sense on the schematic, but, if you do a board populating marathon* human error might creep in. In my defense I only swapped around R1 in the R2 slot (glad I caught early). When my mod boards arrive I'm going to crank this bad boy out.

*I also populated following boards: Blue Box, Neo Vibe, Dr.Watt, a Foxx Tone Machine, and two 12 position rotary switches for a frequency booster.

Yeah, it's a bit of a hodge-podge to get all that stuff on there. Hopefully, the layout flow isn't too frustrating. The silk screen does help a lot. Fortunately, most of the resistors are 10k! And I have about 5000 of those :)

Traces are 16 mil, and that's the minimum spacing I used between traces, I believe. There may be a couple of spots where a trace is a bit closer than that to a pad. IIRC, the manufacturers minimum is 8mils and I got nowhere near that.

Ground pour also has 16mil thermals. I might have bumped the 9v rail to 24mil. I remember reading that it's good to have your power rails as wide as possible, although I don't recall the exact reason now.
