FYI "editable" SCH generic layouts

[tubenit]

I added another generic layout board in the SCH Library of schematics along with the generic Hoffman style layout board.

This one is more like a HiWatt turret board or tagboard with paralleled turrets.  IF I am doing something very experimental where I know I may make major changes to the topology,  I prefer the paralleled turret boards. 

Traditional boards or even the Hoffman style are more challenging to do major topology changes on.

Once a design is tweaked and proven,  Hoffman style layout boards are tough to beat. Very quiet and laid out in a way that makes sense.

Please remember that our SCH library has 100's of schematics and layouts that are editable. I personally have maybe 200 more schematics/layouts that I've never posted.

I very rarely ever post a layout or schematic that I've drawn from scratch.  I typically just grab an old one that is kinda similar and make major edits on it.  That's how I am able to often so quickly post something to illustrate.  I sometimes find that "a picture/schematic is worth a thousand words" to be true.

I plan to draw up a layout board for the Marshall Major thread and it is unique enough that I thought I'd start with a completely blank template for this one,  hence why I am posting the new generic HiWatt style board for others.

With respect, Tubenit

Thanks for sharing Jeff

Some time ago I was thinking to buid some pieces of layout (with tube, resistors, caps, pots etc. etc. ....) concerning the parts of an amp

as the input, gain stage, vibrato oscillator, reverb driver, reverb recovery, PI, FXLoop send, FXLoop return, without the values of component

the idea was to use this components as to be able to compose a Layout in a short time

I started and I draw some piece for this "composable layout" but lost all in a PC crash

and I didn't start one other time
(also because now I use FidocadJ instead of JSChem because is more easy to obtain good looking results and is easier to be used, anyway I've still JSChem installed on my PC and I use it)
