FYI, if you want the DipTrace component/pattern, then they're here:

Here is the PCB momentary footprint. I added the board cutout right to it.

Thanks a lot. I would kiss you if you weren't so hairy. (Plus, my wife would not approve).Here is the PCB momentary footprint. I added the board cutout right to it.

Did this layout for a friend, it's a clone of the REDDI tube D.I. squeezed into a 125B. Obviously using 9-12VDC input with a SMPS instead of the power transformer, and using a different transformer for the D.I. He wants a through-hole version, but I told him that will probably have to go into a 1590BBS. So this is mostly to verify the circuit and make sure it still sounds the way he wants it to.

I got tired of off board wiring mods. And I cant stand strip boards. So I thought it was time to give diptrace a try. This is not a new idea but we will see how it works.

Another revision based on dry fitting and real wiring of the test units:
1.) I made the board 1mm narrower overall
2.) I had to switch to a shallower Eagle Plastics ground spring because the Keystone was bottoming out
3.) Switched to the 8 Pin Fujitsu relay based on @szukalski advice
4.) Spaced things out a little more, as I found some of the stuff was a bit tight

That's exactly how I started getting into it, you certainly won't regret it.

Starting off simple but hopefully it works
and is useful. Trying to cover a lot of ground with a “plug and play” approach. And in normal DIY fashion just working off what others have already done.

That's the best way to start. You don't need to reinvent the wheel, and your very first design doesn't need to be a brand new novel idea. It's a natural progression:
- copy what others have done
- start understanding what others have done
- modify what others have done
- start doing your own thing based on your new knowledge of what works and what doesn't
- repeat as many times as necessary

Thank you! I really really want to say i got this but in the past thats only messed me up
Lets see how it goes. I need to get your Wise Sheep built before i even attempt this anyway so itll be a bit before i get to it. Im thinking solder the pit first then that big ole Cap last! The things we do for Mojo

Here what it reads on the back.....I think its pretty clever but i think the "e" shouldn't be there

Is this going to end up on your Github? And is the SOIC8 part a microcontroller?
