Prototype Board

[jimmydweed]

I have built a few pedals, but I now want to start to mod circuits and design my own, so I have decided to built a prototype board. From what ive found the Beavis Board seems to be what im after but im wondering if anybody else has any good design ideas that could be added to this board to make prototyping easier and more productive. Thanks for any ideas and input.http://www.beavisaudio.com/bboard/

That looks nice.  Mine isn't near as fancy.  I just bought the small Radio Shack board and rigged an input jack with to wires to the board and an output jack with a 100k pot for volume control.  It lays on top my amp.  I several boards with different distortion circuits on them.

My take on the Beavis Board:

I've been using this for 3.5 years and it's served pretty well.  But I'm planning on revamping it and changing several things:

1. IEC mains input socket, takes power from wall, internal regulated AC-DC converter (reduces cord clutter
2. Dedicated 5V, 3.3V regulated voltage outputs for digital stuff
3. Analog supply voltage switchable rather than continuously adjustable.  It's a pain to have to measure 9V with a multimeter every. single. time.
4. Dedicated Vref at 1/2 the analog supply V.
5. Work lights!
6. Integrated headphone amp with volume control
7. Shielded internal wiring
8. Omit the pre-wired pots in favor of trimmers directly on the breadboard.  The main advantage of the pre-wired pots is the long leads which saves having to use some jumpers, but the disadvantage is they pick up more noise/hum.
9. Built-in oscilloscope and function generator, MP3 player, margarita dispenser...

Here's what I built for prototyping.

Your setup is awesome.
