this is my first attempt at doing a layout. i have tried to copy the hoffman syle.
this is not a revibe (it has a different trem and cathode follower output) so there is no layout i know of other than the weber. i used some of hoffman's revibe layout and 'comped' the rest.  i would really appreciate it if any one sees any potential problems in the layout to help me out.

i got this as a kit from weber and built it on the provided eyelet board using their layout. but it was my first build and it is messy and i mucked up the grounding so it picks up hum and rf.  i have long been meaning to rehaul it and wanted to do it with turrets and a cleaner layout

 i'm going to rebuild this this week.

link to schematic http://www.triple-t.no/torevibe/images/torevibe-schem.jpg

i used the same part numbers on my layout as are on the schematic.

thanks in advance.

edit: updated files here
edit: updated again somehow had the 6v6 pinout messed up on version 1. corrected.

Thanks for sharing your layout. It is appreciated. I don't know enough to be helpful with comments because I am not familiar with the unit.

I build a "sort of" stand alone unit recently with my FX-Reverb unit. I tried to follow Hoffman's grounding scheme on that and also incorporated some of Sluckey's grounding suggestions. Perhaps take a look at it and consider how I approached grounding on that unit.  It is VERY quiet.

With respect, Tubenit
