Could someone please check my Compressor Layout?

[mrpleasant]

Hi lads,

could please someone with a bit more experience than me check if there are any mistakes in my vero layout?
I used a schematic from muzique.com as a model. And to be honest: it's the first cicuit I tried to transfer onto a veroboard.

So, please comment comment comment!  ;)

edit: dammit the pictures don't work.
I'll post links as fast as I can

  I tried perfin' that one.
 And had one tough time figurin' it out, I probably could these days...well.
 Always I feel like I missed something. In the case of the DynaComp perf-attempts it kept telling me "you missed something".
 Count 1 node, count how many nodes connect, do a 'virtual DMM test' to every other node it touches, count and nix stray connections. Repeat node 1 test.
 Count node #2...repeat !
 Move to node #3, and hope 1 and 2 didnt' getcha.
 I'll take a look and reply if I see something funny.
  It's easier/quicker for you, you can write the values on the schematic.

Thanks a lot pete.
I already checked it several times myself, but I'm olny a bloody beginner, so I don't really trust my own opinion :D

Anyone else to leve a comment is still welcome!

I just made a layout with the part values written on the parts, for better comparability to the schematic.

Hey people!

Isn't anyone out there who'd like to verify my vero-layout? Really no one?

Well, as I seem to be almost the only poster here and as I'm slowly but certainly losing my patience, I've decided the following:

-assuming that my layout is correct (I've checked it like 50 times now) I'm gonna build my pedal
-if it works, that will prove my layout is correct and I'll upload a "verified" version

I'M NOT A PRO, thus the whole business is kinda risky, but whatever... don't seem to have another choice.

Bye lads, see you again in a few months...



PS: I'm gonna build my comp together with a DLS (aka Marshall in a box) as a 2-in-1.

I'm not a vero user but as for verifying it yourself is a great expience IMHO.  Think of it.  If it works and you did all yourself that will be a credit to your skills.  Also you would be a contributer to the stompbox community.  I've been doing this for over 3 years and I haven't contributed a layout yet.  I mostly perf or etch my projects.
If your layout doesn't work you can fix it and re-post.  I'm sure we will all be interested in your findings.  Finding out where I went wrong is one of the best learning experiences I've had.

Hello again!

It's been some time now since my last post, but now I've finally verified my layout! I'll be posting some pictures of my new stompbox too, soon.
Here's the current version:
Hope someony can use it

Nice! So it's a Dyna on vero?!

[mrpleasant]

Yep, that's right. I haven't had a chance to compare it to a "real" one,
but I've made it according to a schematic I found on muzique.com.
In my onpinion it sounds nice.

[Renegadrian]

Right, nice to have another vero layout around! thank you!
