Low Tide Modulator - Q1 has SMD pads on the pcb?

[spacekid71]

Hi Everyone,

I am preparing for the Low Tide Modulator build and I saw that below Q1 for the 2SK208-Y there are some SMD pads. I dont have the pcb yet so would someone be able to confirm that the smd pads are for the Q1 transistor?

Thanks,

Martijn

Correct. Q1 and Q4 both have through-hole and SMD pads to accommodate whichever type of transistor you have available.

I used SMD transistors, then checked them for continuity using the equivalent through-hole pads. *BEEP*ed, just like in Batfink.
