I was Googling a completely different phrase in Spanish..... they didn't teach this one in school unfortunately.

I love it. Practical DIY builders won't bat an eyelash.

But dudes like Jesse Honig and Paul Smith will gaslight themselves into thinking it makes a difference in toan. So, more reason to keep it.

Only acceptable use of AI thus far.

It's gonna be tough to meet the pcbmania quality standard.... better tighten up

They're on opposite sides of the board, so it's really not as bad as it looks.... but yeah ... I'm ashamed.

And it was no accident, I put it there on purpose.... and knew it... and left it there.... it was the lesser of two evils.


I ordered prototypes today, so unless it doesn't work (there's still hope) it's done, I'm accepting it and moving on.

@bean did something sorta similar with the Aquababy: the three solder points for one of the pots are bordered by the NE571 IC socket. Good use of precious board space IMO!

Once in a while it's worth making a funky build compromise if it gets the job done.

I made a load of PedalPCB stuff and then started on KiCad and laying out my own pcb … I couldn’t get the traces to work without being silly lengths it too a while to realise that if I wanted to have things at 45 degree angles and nothing lining up … then nobody would be able to stop me!!
