BYOC Brown Face stripboard query

[Solder of Destiny]

I'm trying to translate this stripboard layout diagram to a 3PDT wiring board and my head hurts. Can anybody tell me where on the stripboard to connect the switch board's in and out (BI and BO)?

The lugs are numbered like this
1 4 7
2 5 8
3 6 9

Look on the stomp board to see where the solder pad traces are connected to those lugs.

Right, but where on the main board are the corresponding BI and BO connections?

Check the bottom right of the layout for IN/OUT directions

Have you already started building this project?

I think that's jack in/out?

Bypass 5 on the main board is board in and bypass 7 on the main board is board out.

Yes, I have more or less finished it with the small issue that it is not working. The LED is flashing and the speed pot affects it but no sound. I'm not really sure how to wire the footswitch so that might be the issue.

I just wanted to warn you that the one I had had a volume drop.

Annoying. I'm sure you've maxed out the level trim pot?

I need to go back and look at mine. I built one last year, I don’t remember having a volume issue.

Yes that’ll fix it but for some reason i didn’t care for the pre or something. Now that I’m thinking about it though I remember mine was version 1 they went back and fixed some things and made it better. Probably best to disregard what I’ve said. Unless you’re building version 1.

I can't get it working anyway. I think I might hate stripboard.

I'm not a fan of vero for a number of reasons...

Maybe try perf (which is not without its own middling-quirks).

 

[jimilee]

Strip board is a lot easier to troubleshoot IMHO. No hidden traces. What I like to do is take a pic of the back side and zoom in on it. You can see bridges and bad solder joints easier.

Did you look at the schematic for the BYOC Brown Face Tremolo? If so you'll see that it is not compatible with the bypass switch you are using--which is why the stripboard diagram tells you how to wire it directly to the switch rather than just specifying input and output like other circuits.

You should just wire to the switch directly as specified in the layout.
