Nice build. That's pretty neat for Vero. I still haven't figured out how to make the wiring in a Vero board look neat.  :(

It's just practice, really. My vero builds started like Spaghetti Incidents and nowadays I can get them to look like this:

English Channel (5 pots)

Snowwhite Autowah (4 pots)

Managed to hide those pot wires pretty well...  ;)

I think it's great work! You'll get the hang eventually by practicing. I just tried my first Vero board yesterday, although most of it was done by an experienced friend, I wouldn't know where to start. Kudos to you.

Thanks man, appreciated!

I've been spoilt lately with all the cheap fabhouses out there, not to mention Jacob's excellent Eagle tutorials and after that Ben's DipTrace push. I hardly even consider vero anymore, whatever I "need" can certainly wait a month for me to do a layout and get it from China.  ::)
That, and quite a few pcbs I got off members here will keep me busy fow quite a while.  ;D

@Miter: What kind of a label is that? Color waterslide on a bare box?

These are hugely impressive. Are you related to Juansolo or Cleggy at all?

Snow White looks fantastic.

Is that strain relief on the off-board wiring? Whatever it is, that's damn clean veroing! Great job!

LOL! Don't I wish... it took a good three dozen pedals to become this neat with vero. Hopefully it'll take a few less for envirotex that I want to try out.

Yeah. I picked that up from someone on Mark's board (I'd love to give credit where credit is due but I completely forgot who it is) and it works fantastic for hiding the wires and keeping them neat, even if you do have to give up two extra columns.

Any chance you could point me to that Eagle tutorial? thanks

It's a laser waterslide for the lettering and the yellow border, and a paint finish underneath.I was playing around with water base pre-cat clearcoat with added pigments. This one worked out pretty well.

I like the wire strain relief trick, too. I'll be using that next time.

Mine came from a Felix guy in Israel that goes by Stinger25 on various forums (maybe try on tagboardeffects, I've seen him often over there?). He's a super nice guy and always has boards in stock.
