Thoughts on vero/strip boards for preamp
« on: May 16, 2020, 09:01:20 pm »
Anybody use a vero board on a pre amp?
What kind of issues were there?

I am just thinking it would be a smaller footprint. Just not sure if there would be noise issues.

Thoughts?

Or

Experiences?
Proud to be self taught but, my teacher is an idiot.

Most veroboards don’t have enough space between traces to prevent arcing on B+ and most components rated more than 1/2W have leads won’t fit.

I built fews amps with vero board.
I do all myself with turret post or eyelet on vero board.

Here a Elk Pro Sonic amp chassis. I built a Fender AB763 Deluxe Reverb circuit for a professional guitar player. Amp sound great with their original EL84 output tubes and originals transformers.
