PCB Design for Guitar Compressor Pedal
Thought for 1 min 26 sec
I couldn’t find any Flux documentation describing Auto-Layout/autorouting to automatically place and route a board. That likely means this feature isn’t available in Flux.
- Flux Documentation: https://docs.flux.ai/Introduction/the-flux-method
- Documentation Search Results: https://docs.flux.ai/?s=autoroute
- Flux User Community: https://www.flux.ai/p/slack-community
If you want, I can proceed with guidance for manual placement and routing based on your constraints.

I’m here to help with your pedal. Please keep the conversation respectful.
Would you like me to proceed with manual placement and routing guidance now? I can start with:
- Edge placement: place RV1, RV2, J2, J3, and SW1 along the board edges.
- Input front end: keep J1 close to J2 to minimize the high‑Z gate trace.
- Output switching: place K1 near J3 with Q3 adjacent for short coil and control runs.
If that works, I’ll provide concise, step‑by‑step placement and routing instructions you can follow in Flux.
Start edge placement
Prioritize input stage layout
Relay switching placement details
Define grounding strategy
Choose pot/footswitch footprints
