Thought I'd throw this into the pile
Let me know if something doesn't look right. Also I need to verify my pot template though I'm sure it's OK
Schematic
Transfer layout with drill template
My custom enclosure template
BOM - best to use the suggested pots



The trimmer is one that can be adjusted from the underside like this one
The contour and input pots are this type

I've had brief spells of "shooting stars" after a particularly vigorous sneeze that looked exactly like that copper side of the layout! :icon_lol:  I suspect my wife has also had Petri-dish bacterial cultures that looked like it as well.  :icon_mrgreen:

Just a bit of gentle ribbing from a guy who has grown accustomed to more "angular" layouts.  Nice work, Kev.

Nice. Very vintagey, with all the trippy old-school curves, yet with all the modern conveniences (like a ground plane)! The pots being linear, I bet one could flip them around and squeeze this sideways into a 1590a.

Everything is component side except that -9V tap for the LED switch. Also that's why I've added the hole under the trimmer so it can be adjusted while mounted in the enclosure.

I think I'll have to make fill-less layout just for Mr. Hammer  :icon_rolleyes:
I like ground fill because it alleviates a lot of routing headaches and also the boards etch faster when less copper needs to be removed - same applies with a CNC.

Economics, man. Just watch out for those shorts!

Actually the volume control should be log. I won't lose sleep over it lol
Do as you will  8)

Happy DIYing!
