I know this is sacrilege but, I am not a big breadboarding fan
In all honesty, it is just as easy (and convenient) for me to etch a PCB and test/alter the circuit then. I must admit, I am totally inefficient with a breadboard and it takes me quite a bit of time to breadboard circuits. Take into account that this is a pretty large circuit and the breadboard that I have is fairly small and you know which way I would want to go.
I have plenty of copper clad, etchant, resistors, caps, transistors, etc. As long as the ICs dont get ruined, I will be OK. Thats what voltage checks are for!!
Now... electrically, the layout looks good when compared to the original hand drawn schematic (althugh it IS missing a few parts but, those parts are also NOT on the board in the pics on Page 1). Also, the layout seems to follow the pattern from the pictures on Page 1.
So, the only questions I have now are about parts values. There are several resistors with odd values (i.e. 3.01K, 6.19K, 15.8K, 46.4K, 9.1K) I am wondering if I can round to the nearest values without effecting the performance of the pedal??
