Hey guys I found this vero layout in an old thread, and the system told me if I want a reply I should make a new topic.  Sorry if I'm doing this wrong...


So here's the layout I'm following.  All I want to ask is, does anyone know how the electrolytics are supposed to be orientated?  All anodes on top, I'm assuming?

yup, anodes on top, is the layout verified?

If you can see the subtle gray shading, that's the - side.

If you aren't certain, always check the schematic. The + side also always goes toward the side facing the power source, and the - to the ground (in a negative ground pedal, that is).

I'll let you know tonight :icon_wink:

Well, I built it.  And it doesn't work, but that may not be the layouts fault.  The only thing I'm not sure about is if lug 1 of speed and spacing aren't used.  I built to where they're not used.

I'll keep dinking around with it, though.

Bah, I can't get the stinker to work.

I don't even get sound bypassed. But, when the effect is engaged I get a kind of thump that sounds like the trem is trying to do something.  I'm sure I probably messed up something.  I bet someone with a better understanding of electronics could figure out what's what with this circuit.
