Hi all,
This is my first attempt at laying out a PCB for the tube amp. Keep in mind I have absolutely no electronics background so there may be things I am not aware of functionality-wise, hence wanting feedback. I do realize that there are some blank spaces on the board, which I plan on readjusting and compact the components tighter. I also know that the board is a bit lopsided and also the left and right side could be mirrored. The board size does not matter because I will be building the enclosure from scratch as well.
I am following Dsavitsk's 12au7 schematic & BOM, much thanks to Doug for that. The drawing is created in ExpressPCB, most of the custom components were taken from datasheets and built by me. This design is a double-sided copper plate, which the ground plane is removed in the screenshots for clarity.
If there is anything glaring, please let me know. Any comments welcome!
