component layout ?? (9v)

[m_charles]

Hi!
Have a quick question. I've done my own-layout and realized that I have my "effect in" and my "9v in" right next to each other. Is there any negative to doing this? I know that on a 3PDT the 9v-in to the LED is right next to the "effect in" pole and not considered "bad" thing.
Anyone have any thoughts?

thanks! chuck

it would be nice to have a ground between them. It may work fine as you have it, but there may be different circuits it is a problem with. If it's easy enough to space it out or drop a ground plane between that would be the safer choice.

  How long is the parallel run...enough to transformer AC across it?
  ''9V'' should be DC, there can be ripple and it could get spikes in it, probably not enough interaction between the conducting substrates to transfer it over to the Signal Path. Input is of course usually more sensative than output.
Is there any negative to doing this?
Well it may cause worries, I can't determine at this time whether your project will experience anything that would warrant such worries.

  Don't worry or test it, kinda hard to test...depends on the amp/volume and...ya never know, personally I'd not worry about it, build it, worry about it, then put a different routing via worry wire for that input or that 9V+...it's 'supposed' to be DC, too smooth and flat to jump over into the input like 'pulsing'' or "spikey" AC can.

You can have your DC pin near your IN pin safely.
Whether you have spikes or ripple in your +V you'll have the same spikes and/or ripple on the negative side (GND) of your power supply, should this be the case then change your power supply.

thanks guys, appreciate the help. Pete the pedal is just a triangle-bmuff clone. I've used a 100 ohm resistor in series then a 100uf from + to gnd to filter the dc jack, and of course, yes, the power is DC.
So I should be cool? Just didn't want to finish the project if I was going to have to switch things up.
