Cutting Veroboard and Switching the Switch

For the actual build of this pedal, I'm using an electrical engineering lab at school that I have access to. I went there tonight to get started.

I cut the veroboard using a box cutter, it was tougher than I thought. The best method is to score and snap; I made the first cut by pretty much cutting all the way through. Took me almost 45 minutes. I finished cutting the veroboard and made it 20 x 12, leaving an extra row and extra column just in case.

All of the veroboard cut.

The 20 x 12 piece I'm using for the pedal.

Then I checked to make sure all the offboard components fit the enclosure. Turns out, the switch was way too big to fit into its designated hole. After worrying for a bit, I went over to Radio Shack and bought a SPST switch that fit perfectly. Thanks Radio Shack, too bad you're going out of business!

The next step is to make cuts and wire connections.
