Title: Noob vero question
Post by: tonefreak on February 18, 2013, 03:22:59 PM
I recently finished a  Monte Allum mod on my Boss Flanger and assembled a Way Huge Red Llama kit from GGG. Both projects came out great and I am eager to start something else. I am thinking about doing a vero layout...either Engineer's Thumb, Roger Mayer Spitfire, Suhr Riot, or Snow White Wah. Although I have found verified vero schematics for these projects, I am a little unclear as how to handle the offboard wiring. I was hoping to find some resources. Any ideas or advice?

Like the stomp switch and jacks? Usually unless otherwise noted, I use madbeans basic wiring found in the forums and the main projects page.

Your vero layouts should have indications for: in/out/ground/9v wires. These work the same as any pcb project you have done. Here is the madbean standard wiring diagram that you can use:

I love Vero. the only thing i recomend and cant stress enough to people. layout all your cuts with a dot of perminamt marker. then double check all of them before spinning the drill bit. nothing looks worse than a scabbed up Vero because you cut one spot to far over. I just take my time and play a mean game of battleship, i use a burr tip drill bit by hand to cut the strips.

Vero's a lot of fun, but if I were you, I'd probably start with a couple of easier projects, because troubleshooting vero can be a huge pain in the butt, and most of the projects you've got listed are pretty adventurous.

I second this! I love that site for vero layouts. I have built a few from there already. I would suggest building an audio probe for testing these suckers if you run into trouble, can be a life saver. Start with something small for your first just to get the hang of it before moving on to something complicated.

Minimal links, cuts and parts.
