Re: creating PCBs for effect pedals

i'm not using any sliders yet so that board is just more of a test. i'm trying to find some 20mm slider pots (i think all of them are B100K) but i haven't come up with any good results on ebay yet... do you have any suppliers to suggest? :)
good to see someone interested on this one! it's a real beast, i hope i won't get a heart attack when i get the BOM to the local store... :D
oh and a note, anyone knows a replacement for the 2N4302? i can't find them, not even their pinout designations! :) just one needed here...

Checked, fixed, double-checked, fixed, triple-checked... till i found no more errors from the schematics!
Transparencies double printed, waiting for the morning sun to burn and etch some PCBs! :D
board placements done, BOM created, 111 resistors, 33 capacitors, 22 diodes, 6 transistors, 10 pots and 17 ICs!! this is gonna take a while to drill and solder... let's hope it will at least give some kind of output! it's gonna be hell to debug it...

i chose 2N5458 as the replacement, since it's easily found in pedal DIYers' stock :)
i'll post images from the huge WIP!
:)
