is a USA supplier.... I know Steve isn't in the UK, but on the other hand you can get a lot of other FX DIY stuff from him as well. I'm in Australia, and I shop at SmallBear!
Doesn't ratshack sell pad-per-hole? :? or maybe Maplin or something similar?
maplin only sells stripboard, which sucks
they sell this wierd pad-per-3-holes stuff tho :?
i think ill order some from smallbear
I want stripboard :-D :-D
the only place i ever see it is extremely overpriced, from mouser. It seems amazing for building simple effects...
it really sucks. i thought it would help too, but its hard to use and if you get a solder bridge between the strips by accident it kills the copper so you have to start over
Everyone is different.. I love stripboard! (which is pretty cheap here in Australia from Altronics). I use a pop rivet drill (about 1/8 inch) in a holder to cut the traces. And I scrape along with a sharp tool to break bridges. If you make a number of standard subcircuits on bits of stripboard (LFOs, tonestacks etc) then you can link up proto fx pretty easy. I can't use protoboards at all, I drop them, knock stuff out etc.
