PCBs Have Upgrades Now?

[BuddytheReow]

Decided to get some time under the iron this morning before work. I pulled out a newer board (Lead Solder Overdrive) and noticed that pot values are also labelled on the backside of the board. Definitely saves me the 0.13574 seconds to turn it over multiple times while putting the pots in. Definitely a nice touch! Hats off to you @Robert .

Wow, I just started labeling the pots on the backs of mine,. Now I gotta do the values, too. That really is helpful.

When you said upgrade, I was thinking something like a bump to Economy Plus.

I was hoping we'd get more leg room, clearly not.

Honestly, little tweaks like this make a ridiculous amount of difference in ease of building - and something I almost always forget to do on my own PCBs

I just did a Ceasar Chorus that has the values on one side and the labels on the other, which is very nice because it saves me looking up the labels from the diagram and then getting them backwards because the PCB goes in the enclosure upside down from the way you are looking at it when building
