Tyrian Distortion

[Norseman72]

Just started the Tyrian distortion (rev2) and noticed there are 4 tiny holes under ic2, ic1,r14 and between ic3 and r21. What are these little holes for? Thanks

Those are vias. They connect components between the 2 board layers when a continuous trace is not possible…leave them be

Thank you. I knew i didn’t need to mess with them but my ocd nature wouldn’t stop thinking about them until I knew what they were.

I see something on the mockup image under IC-2...

I dunno exactly what you call it, but it looks like a "raceway"...I suppose that term works well enough.

*edit*. Whelp, beat me to the punch.

Alternatively, you could make like the Magpie and short out various vias with pots/switches and introduce some circuit-bending to your build.

If you fry something, I take no responsibility ...




At the very least, it would be interesting to map out all the vias on the schematic.
