this is only the second pedal I'm building.. EVER. OK, i have all the parts and everything except for the paint and graphics stuff that i need to build a nice little 'improved' ea tremolo. I am actually building 2 identical ea tremolos except that one needs to have a 9v battery clip as it is for my brothers birthday and he does not have or intend to get a power supply (he only has 1 pedal so far).  So my question is, will all of this fit inside a "b size" enclosure even with the battery and does using perfboard use up any more space than PCB? thank you, and BTW this is the first pedal I'm building that actually has a circuit the first one i built was an a/b splitter. all help is greatly appreciated thanks.

I made a pcb version of the EA from GGG and im still trying to lay it out to fit into a BB size box with little luck.
You could try to put it into a B box but I really doubt it woud fit. Heres a link to a perf layout that they fit into a BB box.
http://www.runoffgroove.com/eatremolo.html As far as if perf or vero layouts are smaller than
pcb....I think it depends on the circuit and how/who layed it out. I have built some vero layouts from Dragonfly such as the
Snakebite and it is only about an inch squared while the mini booster on pcb for example from GGG is only about 1 1/2 inches squared. Both are boosters
and have about the same amount of parts and they are pretty close in size. Hope this gave you a little bit of help.

well lol then u just need to try harder ive seen it fit in a b size box with PCB no problem BB size is way too much for thte EA trem. be creative~ :icon_biggrin:
