Little Red Haired Girl

[tdukes]

Not pedal PCB but based on Je Taime and Van Pelt Drive. I have been using these together for about a year, so I laid them out and had them built by pcbgogo and put them in a box together. "I Love You" and "Charlie Brown" made me think "Little Red Haired Girl".

The cap and yellow wire are for mistake in the layout, but I don't know if I'll do another try or not. Getting the color of the skin was a lot harder than I thought it would be.

You nailed the artwork! Looks great. Pretty tight fit in that box. Takes tiny feet to hit only one button at a time, hmm?

You kind of have to use the side of your foot. I haven't missed and gotten both of them too much. I haven't used it while wearing boots yet though.

I misjudged the pot legs. I should have moved the whole board up some and made it a little shorter. This is a 4 layer board. I wonder if a 2 layer would do as well. It would only cost $5 plus shipping to try again with a 2 layer. The 4 layer was about $50..

You should be able to lay out this circuit on a 2-layer board, even shrink it down a bit. All of the PedalPCB boards I've seen are 2-layer. Do like PedalPCB does and flood-fill ground plane around the traces on both sides.
I've been there, done that with the pot dimensions.
FYI, 16mm pots have a 16mm diameter body and the distance from the center lead to the center of the mounting hole is also 16mm. Here's an Alpha dwg with dimensions.

Just now noticing the strategic LED placement. Good show!

Aww it just makes him feel all warm and fuzzy.
