PCB layout

Dimensions:

97 mm x 85,5 mm

3,82 inch x 3,37 inch

NB

There is a small silkscreen error that does not affect the effect. On the PCB

P5

is marked as Gain,

but should be marked as Offset. Dito for

P6

which is marked as Offset, but should be marked as Gain.

Yeah, I reversed the names….
