LPB-1 stripboard diagram

[Toxic Tom]

I am going to make an LPB-1 boost pedal and I would appreciate if someone could check this diagram I drew today:



Thanks all!

Looks good to me! (Assuming output goes to a 100K audio pot).

Yeah, I've got a 100k audio pot.

I was gonna use a stripboard layout I found online, but then I realised that my resistors and caps would not fit, so I started from scratch.

I find placing capacitors beside each other on stripboard can be a bit tight, especially if the are large, so you might want to move the two 180 ohm resistors and have them between the capacitors on the left and right.

I've got these poly film capacitors, they are quite thin, but thanks for the suggestion, I'll have a look...

I did not check the components just one little advice:
Most people will cut the strips not between two holes, but in the place of a hole.
It's not impossible to do it the way you draw it, but the other way is much easier.
I hope it is clear what I mean.

Thanks, yeah I get you.

Good point!
A drill bit (3 mm, turn it by hand) cuts it nicely.
Maybe just skip a row for the cut?

I used to use a 3mm bit, but I find that a 1/4" - 6 or 7mm drill bit does it quicker and better, a lot less twists.
