Hi all first post here. Just started building a couple pedals and ordered some copper clad blank pcb's without realizing it was FR-4, .060. 1/2 oz stock , is 1/2 oz copper suitable for pedals? should i have gotten 1 or 2 oz?.
Half-ounce is OK.
Whatever's easiest to acquire.

Cool thanks guys! i ordered 24 of them. Glad it wasn't a waste.
.5oz is fine. It really boils down to trace width and the amount of current flowing through said traces. If you were planning on building something that has a few amps running through it then you'll need some fat traces. A stompbox running on a 9v supply is a non-issue. You wouldn't be able to etch traces that thin. :)
