PT2399 Reverb Circuit -- Chip Socket

For the PT2399 guitar reverb circuit, I decided to use a chip socket so I could test other versions of this IC in the future. I have ordered ICs from The Far East and this board will provide me the chance to see how well they perform.

The 0.1-µF capacitors have to be situated very close to the IC, hence I have designed the layout like this with the resistors spread farther out. The green-coloured Mylar polyester film capacitors can be raised slightly, however there is still plenty of space to install the IC.

Once you have a completed build that has been tested and double-checked, the IC is the last component to go in. Hence, in the final stages, the circuit will look more like this.
