I am trying to add a headphone amp to my PodPlus board. Sadly, this is turning a lot harder than I expected.
My idea was to clone E/S POD headphone amp design. However, there are two major problems:
- I cannot find any SMD dual pot footprint similar to the one used in the POD in KiCad. The only option seems to make my own, but this looks quite complex, esp. considering this is a smd component.
- JLCPCB only has one headphone amp of that family in stock. The footprint is quite different and while there are some footprints in KiCad, it is very hard to pick the correct one.
So, I am back to square one and am looking for any ideas how to implement that functionality in relatively easy way.
This is how my first prototype looks like (the amp footprint is wrong):
Thanks
