So you have used your beavis board to create your ultimate pedal design. You've tweaked and tuned and stuck it on your pedalboard and had a rocking good time.

Now what? What if you want to take that design and make a real, permanent pedal out of it. Now, with the beavis protobread, you can!

What is It?

The beavis protobread is a prototyping PCB that is laid out just like your beavis board breadboard. This means that you can directly transfer your design from the breadboard to a PCB, solder the components, and build a real pedal.

The board size is 99cm x 58cm (3.9" x 2.3") making it a perfect size for Hammond 1590BB or 125B enclosures.

The beavis protobread Layout

Here's what the top side of the beavis protobread looks like:

As you can see, there are connected rows in the middle, just like a breadboard. On the sides are the + and - power busses. On the bottom right there is a power supply section (its use is optional, see the section on Power Supply Section below for details), and on the bottom mid-left, a set of pads making it easy to connect your PCB to a 3PDT stompswitch.

Ok, Great. How Do I Use it?
