Drilling

• Think about battery placement before drilling pots and stomp switches
• Don’t squish pots and LEDs in too tightly
• 125b Are too small for starter builds (1590BB is best)

General

• Don’t bother with battery snaps or bezels
• Buy all components first before sending away for PCB fab
• Add diode protection to circuits
• Add Rb protection to circuits
• Put DC jacks at the top not on the sides (easier to work with)
• Use a throw switch on a box (instead of stomp (when making them for effects for synths))
• Use screwable LEDs if possible and if using superglue, only a dab — absolute pain in the ass if the LED needs replacing
• Label what pots are for what (Volume etc) on the PCB to avoid having to look back at designs
