so ive never worked with veroboard before and had a crack at a circuit today
couple of questions
if i was to cut the wrong track would i have to start all over again on a new veroboard i didnt use a drill bit just a doctors knife and sliced it i kinda flowed a bunch of solder over the one i did wrong not sure if that works
im building a fuzzrite from markIVI vero board version bypass works fine pots adjusting volume others kinda acting like a gate of no sound maybe a tad of crackle trans are socketed using 2n2222a's
I'm not really familiar with the Fuzzrite circuit, but generally when I build something that doesn't work, I break out the multimeter and poke around with it on the continuity setting, starting with power and ground.
Then it's kind of an awful process of "are THESE connected? ... nope... damn."
You could also solder a little piece of wire (eg something you clipped off of a resistor) to bridge the accidental cut. If there are any errors and you are searching for them, try the "audio probe" and follow the path of the signal. Usually helps to find cold solder joints etc.
Be careful that you didn't bridge adjacent tracks accidentally. I use a very narrow razor saw (for model building, etc.) between the tracks before firing up to clear any solder that might have run off course.
I love the smell of solder in the morning.
