Hey guys,
I've almost finished the vero for my BSIAB2 (just waiting for low-value pF caps to arrive in the mail) and i'm wondering about a couple of things;
1: it's high-gain, so will i need to use shielded wire? if so where do i use it, or just everywhere?
2: the trimpot is bigger than whoever made the vero anticpated so i had to have the + caps touching it, angling away (annoying
as the rest of the vero is very neat, my best yet) - does this matter? will it cause squealing etc?
3: does anyone have a good link for painting enclosures (I have a spraycan of paint, spraycan of laquer and a small toaster oven)?
thanks!! :)

I would recommend using a shielded wire between the input jack and the input to the circuit board.
2: the trimpot is bigger than whoever made the vero anticpated so i had to have the + caps touching it, angling away (annoying

Shouldn't think so, but only one way to find out for sure....
3: does anyone have a good link for painting enclosures (I have a spraycan of paint, spraycan of laquer and a small toaster oven)?
Good info in the wiki...

willdo with the input jack/circuit board. read up on wiki (which directed me back here!) and it seems around 140 deg. Farenheit for 30ish minutes
(so beavis says). i'll give it a crack. i only have some car touch-up paint lying around but i guess it'll do for starters, then i'll worry about clear coat
after that.
thanks for the info! anyone else care to input?
Hello, i've made a BSIAB2 and i used for all wireing shilded cables. No hum and no feedback from the box even with the max. gain and volume.

cool i might try a mix of the two, depending on how it goes (if it does!) for a start. thanks! :)
