Merlin's modular PCBs
Posted: Tue 08/28/18 5:14 am
Hi all.....long term lurker, first time poster...so an introduction first
I've built about a dozen amps so far, mostly on tagboards rather than turret. Started with a Tiny Terror clone, 'graduated' through some 18W variants, and last one was a kinda JMP 50W. As you can see, I'm kinda drawn to a 70s aesthetic.

Last:
It's just a hobby for me, I've no intention of selling what I make, but I have been asked to build some stuff for people, which I generally do for the cost of parts plus fifty quid or something.
Anyways.......in order to cut down the build time, and generally simplify stuff, on the builds I might do for less, um, discerning buyers, I've just ordered a set of PCBs from Merlin. Looks to me like they would make it a cinch to knock up various versions of 18 watter, with the flexibility to knock up more bespoke designs pretty easily too.
Has anybody used these? Looking for advice and feedback, but also I'm liking the thought of some kind of idea exchange about how to build different circuit variants on the boards.
Apologies if in the wrong forum, wasn't sure where to post.
