JoJo I cannot get them at all. Tried numerous ways. I simply ended up bookmarking the new topic section.
Well this time I changed to a more "secure?" email account which makes it the 4th one. I did receive it this time so I'll leave it and see what happens? Times are a changin' I guess? With all the adds, scams, and other types of garbage always trying to inflict harm or bombardment of email crap all in the attempt of getting people to click onto their links of "electronic quicksand" taking advantage in any way possible? I call it "click bait"
I see the pull down now. Not good at looking at layouts. On the schematic they are obivous.
Tubenit says he's not sure about vero also but so far has had no issues with using it. I personally LOVE it! To me it's as easy as working with turret & eyelet boards and almost like breadboarding too. To have "lanes" with which to work within and being similar to a breadboard.
When I build my amps and effects both - most times I find the need to improvise on various changes and adjustments to a circuit by adding or eliminating or enhancing various parts of something to achieve more desirable outcomes. This also involves faceplate changes for controls too - and why I will not make a faceplate on designs until I am completely finished with a project. It's been this way for me for a long long time.
So veroboard gives me total freedom over making changes at will that you just cannot do using circuit boards. Making DIY circuit boards a very constricting in this way and they are a pain in the butt to make: very time consuming, labor intensive, and the possibilities of making mistakes are much much greater. I can also say that I can get my boards down to a physical size that takes up almost no more room than a regular circuit board too. I grew up loving to work crossword and other puzzles and creating and consolidating an amp or effect layout with what you have available to work with is very similar and just as much fun. My grandmother, as I remember her, was always in her favorite chair drinking coffee, smoking, and working the daily crossword puzzle in the newspaper. This must be part of where I get it from?
I keep watching all the storms out back East and all of the rain and flooding going on. I do this also with a "concerned eye" because I have had a vacation scheduled next month to be sailing on a private luxury boat in the Lesser Antilles with a group of family and friends with five couples. We're to spend our entire time on the water and island hopping around. It should still be safe and it's been said there's been no hurricane issues they've had since they've been doing this. So if you don't hear from me I may be stranded on a deserted island somewhere trying to make an amplifier and radio out of coconut shells and recovered boats parts? (thinking Gilligan's Island

)
