I thought a tutorial on how to build on perfboard would be a good addition to the blog. There are lots of ways to do it, but this video shows how I do perf builds and how the perf layouts are designed to be built. I filmed this ages ago with great intentions, but it took me a year to get it fully edited (video editing is actually my day job and I'd rather build pedals or play with my kids when I get home instead of doing more editing lol). But better late than never! Enjoy.
As a graphic artist, I know exactly what you mean! I have all sorts of good guitar projects that I want to design and work on, but it's hard after a long day on the job.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all of the great information on the site!
its nice to put a face to the pedal king¡¡
ReplyDeleteThe video is great and also the new aspect of the site, love your work. Great moves, keep it up, proud of you.
ReplyDeleteWhat program do you use to draw the circuit?

DeleteWhat version to use
Delete3.32 I think. Whatever's the newest version of 3.
DeleteThank You
DeleteNice!! You're the best, man!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the excellent video mate, really useful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the kind words, guys!
ReplyDeleteGreat, thanks!
ReplyDeleteSo u use 26 gauge solid core, where do u get it from? I've gotten to where I can do the board just fine but the pots give me he'll! Seems everyone likes solder lug and 24 awg stranded. Just finished up a 100' spool so I'd like to give solid core a shot. Awesome site, your very talented guy!
ReplyDeleteI got the 26 gauge stuff of Amazon. I actually prefer a heavier gauge as it's less likely to break (if you end up moving/bending the wires around a bunch when you start boxing things wires will sometimes break at the board if you're not careful). This stuff has worked out pretty well though. It's just a little more dainty than I like. haha
Deletecan i make a request for an irig stomp? it will help a lot for us diy'ers.. thanks and more power.. godbless..
ReplyDeletesorry I have a question . Do you have convert schematic to perf board for easy.
ReplyDeleteAnother way to do it, which might help with more complex circuits, is to make all the traces with tinned copper craft wire before mounting any of the components. Although it does get fairly tedious (a fairly packed 16x25 board took me ~3-4 hours to trace out using this method).
