I have these wonderful little SMD relay boards and you want me to sully a PCB with a through hole version?
But in seriousness, I have thought about it. The main reason to do onboard relay is that it really tidies up your cabling. The only connections at the bottom of the board are for the SPST (and maybe LED). If you offer the option of no relay into that, then your traces become horribly complicated. The main circuit suffers because of it.
So it’s either, relay onboard, my way or the highway, or just do it off board.

Well that’s the last time I try to be helpful.

I think relay bypass is trash anyway

Dumb experiment thing I've been wanting to try out for a while. Every now and then you just need to do a layout nobody asked for, keep the old gray matter sharp.

Uhhh if that's a pitch vibrato...... gimme gimme gimmmmmme

What if it's just Valvewizard's "universal tremolo"?

No hate, would also build. Just with slightly less enthusiasm.

What if instead of a tremolo it were a tube-based compressor?

That would be cool but is unfortunately not the case.

I still need to measure stuff when I get home before finalizing and ordering, but I threw together a drop-in PCB to turn my Monoprice 15W combo into a 15W Matchless DC30 (EF86 channel only) so it's a better pedal platform and more convenient than bringing my half-stack everywhere.

SHEEEE IT !
I've been holding off on this Monoprice thing, 'cause I've got a 5E3 I built, live north of the 49th so $hipping the 15w combo, and ... a whole slew of other excuses (mainly I'm broke), but ... You did say you were making these drop-in PCBs available — didn't you?

Well I mean, "drop-in" meaning the chassis and transformers stay where they're at, it's not just plug in connectors and go. There will still be a little work like running twisted pairs for the tube heaters and connecting offboard tubes (don't feel like PCB mounting them). But the idea is that it's as easy as possible, because I've built a dozen or so amps, and I don't really like building amps. But if you have the skills to build an amp kit, this would be a piece of cake. The biggest pain (in my opinion) of modding an amp is re-drilling the chassis, so I'm going to see what I can do to minimize that. Because I hate it.SHEEEE IT !

Don't run out and buy the 15W on account of this, it hasn't been verified and was just an idea I had this morning, but after I get it verified if anyone wants a board we can talk.

Thanks to all the great info around the forum, I'm just finishing my first little project in Dip Trace:
I pilfered the schematic for the PedalPCB Parasite Wah and shrunk it down to serve as a cocked-wah effect rather than mounted in a treadle-shell. Certainly nothing fancy, but I think it was a good simple place to start.
