How is this board meant to be used?

Perfboard has its own skill set. You should probably build something more simple before doing a boneyard circuit. You can always desolder it.

Oh I've done strip boards and breadboards before, as well as PCBs from PedalPCB. I learned to solder with QC inspectors at a job decades ago. I'll be fine

DIY Layout Creator is good for designing your own layouts. Either Stripboard or Perf.

I have a list of Boneyard schematics I want to try. There was a thread where Chuck listed some of his favorite circuits, going to pick one of those for some perf board fun. It seems like it might be better than strip boards, no cutting involved.

Like anything, each has its merits, though vero less so.


+1 for DIYLC, as phi1 suggested, LOVE that program.

I downloaded DIYLC but haven't run it yet. Anyone know of a good tutorial on using it?

Thanks, I had seen that while downloading. I am looking to see if there is a video showing best practices. I can search but was asking if someone here has seen a good tutorial.

Perf/proto board feels like the next step up in between PTP and actual PCB and it’s only as ugly as you make it. For me it’s easier to translate a schematic into perf than Vero but that’s just me and I may just be dumb that way. Perf also offers a little more stability over PTP

I didn't know it had one. I learned through the time-tested tradition of TIME+TRIAL&ERROR.
Indeed, so much time, and innumerable trials and many errors.

Maybe I knew, but forgot?

MOOOooony Thanks for the link.
