this is how I made my latest product, the FUNK.A.DUCK envelope filter..
what a saving, no wiring to the pots!!!!
I'm using double sided pcb, so the components are on the other side of the board
from the pots, but if anyone was doing surface mount, then single sided
would be fine,
since the components wd be on the side wher you solder the pots.
