ltspice-guitar-pedals VS pedals

Shameless plug: I’ve spent a bit of time making LTspice simulations of some popular pedals and putting them up on GitHub.

I’ve got a few blog writeups of the more complicated ones, too. The Tube Screamer is the most popular but the Boss Graphic EQ or the DynaComp compressor are my favorites.

I've simulated some very similar ones to this that you could likely modify to your purposes. https://github.com/Cushychicken/ltspice-guitar-pedals

I put together a few ltspice models of guitar pedals a few years ago. Might be of interest to you. https://github.com/Cushychicken/ltspice-guitar-pedals

I've been slowly working on building up a collection of LTSpice simulations of popular guitar effects pedals over the course of the past few years.

You see that design choice a lot on the PedalPCB pcbs for example but there might be some logic to it : if you plan on selling a blank PCB for peoples to assemble, this type of layout does make it a bit easier and more logic to assemble. On the other hand, if you plan to make the best version of a circuit for yourself or to sell in a finished product, i would prefer the approach i just described. It looks like you're using EAGLE ? If you want some example you can take a look at this old repo. Take a look at the shredmaster board especially, from what i remember it was a pretty dense PCB and i did the layout following that logic.
