Design

Hey guys, maybe I'm in the wrong section, but I have a question any way. I'm looking to build my own amp, and I want a program that lets me design the pcb board, the enclosure, and the speaker cab. I would use something like Multisim and Utilbord, but I don't have $3000 for the program. Any thing you use, or can suggest please do.

You can use Eagle to do the PCB. Available free for small projects.

Thanks. I'm downloading it now, so we'll see if the board is big enough.

If not, you can run off multiple small boards to make one large one. It's a PITA but it can be done with some clever planning.

I was thinking of that. But I've got some problems with the program, but I should be able to figure it out.

The GUI is very antiquated, but it does work once you get the hang of it.
