Schematics and PCB layout for a spring reverb driver in Kosmo modular format

This repository contains KiCad schematics and PCB layout for a spring reverb driver in Kosmo modular synthesizer format. It is capable to drive reverbs with an impedance from 8 to 600 ohms. There is a short video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHZOu3KcKBQ.

Just put everything in, all values are marked on the PCB. Start with the lowest profile. The board is also the front panel of the module so components stick out. It is also possible to solder most of the components on the back if wanted.
