Hi Guys
Printed circuit board (PCB) use is not new to guitar amp fabrication; just look at Marshall amps built since 1965 or so, or to Ampeg amps from the same era, let alone countless other brands.
PCBs offer consistent unit-to-unit performance by eliminating variations of stray capacitance and stray inductance - the "parasitic" elements of the physical construction.
There is NO reliability difference between a properly laid out and assembled PCB and a properly laid out and assembled hand-wired amp.
We will discusss using PCB design software such as Eagle, and the basic things to be mindful of in using PCBs for guitar amp construction - really, for construction of any device.
Have fun
