Mmm.. I can't say I'm a fan of that layout.. resitors standing like that, next to resistors flat

I think it looks great.  And if it sounds the same...

Damn Joao,
I can't get over how nice and tidy that board looks!

I think the standing resistors were so the layout could fit into a 125B box...

Galego, what exactly do you do to your resistors?

Do you bend a little notch to keep it in the hole? I hate dealing with upright resistors, but sometimes I need to do it  I almost always end up with a resistor coming out at 45 degrees

Here's a little how-to (bend first with pliers, then the second bend with your finger):

madbean's design goals for the sunking pcb was to make a klon pcb that could fit into a 1590B enclosure.

here is his build:


I was going to do that too but I wanted to make it look like the klon, and have room for a battery. I use a powersupply alot of the times but sometimes when you are doing showcase shows with quick turnarounds you don't have time to run power up for a 15 minute set, so I like to have the option.

by the way the build doc calls for 1/4 watt resistors not 1/8th. it is designed for standing resistors.

I don't have any problem with standing resistors. height is usually never a problem because they are shorter than caps or ic's with a socket and size of the board is always an issue.

Gonna try that out sometime soon

Generally I like to avoid standing resistors when possible, but it's just unavoidable in certain situations (like when you are trying to fit 80+ components on less than 2" sq.). Personally, I never use 1/8W resistors, mostly because my bench is completely stocked with 1/4W (geez, like tens of thousands of them now).

Actually, the thing I like least in PCB layouts is jumpers...I will spend hours trying to design around them. Fortunately, double sided boards eases the pain a bit.

Nice build, Mike

are they the tiny 2.1mm jacks? i just saw one the other day. how do you find them and where do you get them? (:

Maybe these?

Farnell/Element14 sells them au.element14.com search for "Lumberg 1614 09"

Sorry I'm not familiar with Australian shops.

I buy them here: http://www.musikding.de/product_info.php/info/p2097_DC-power-jack-2-1mm-Lumberg.html

Built these two the other day, GGG orange squeezer and tubescreamer

I only saw one the other day and was interested by the amount of unshielded area they have compared to the usual. Id be interested in someone's feedback on them. I didn't realise they were unswitched with two terminals though...

[deadastronaut]

@darron. i use those type, i get mine from bitsbox.co.uk..
nice n small. but im in the uk.  you might  be able to get them in oz..

@pete i like the spray job..nice. very citrus.

[tuckster]

Oh sorry yes the Lumberg are unswitched. I never use batteries.

Any chance you can let us know how you got the screws recessed? Was it as simple as a going slow with a steady hand or did you use any sort of tricks?

with this tool :
"Fraise d'encastrement de têtes de vis"in french, sorry i don't know the english name.

Those are OK, but I get much better results from drill point countersinks.  LOOK HERE, and scroll down to it.  You can use them to drill your hole, but I usually drill a pilot hole first, since they aren't great at clearing chips.
