Explore GLS's Electronic Design Services
Gannon Luthier Services provides professional printed circuit board (PCB) design for audio electronics, signal processing, control systems, and custom hardware projects. Designs are engineered for performance, reliability, manufacturability, and real-world use.
Discuss Your PCB ProjectPurpose-Built PCB Design
A PCB is more than a wiring platform — it is an electrical, mechanical, and noise-control system. GLS designs boards with attention to signal integrity, grounding strategy, power distribution, thermal behavior, and long-term serviceability.
Whether you are building a boutique pedal, studio hardware, embedded system, or custom electronics module, PCB design is where performance is locked in.
PCB Design Services
Schematic Capture
Clean, readable schematics developed from concepts, breadboards, reference designs, or existing circuits. Designed for clarity, revision control, and future expansion.
Audio-Optimized Layout
Low-noise grounding, star and plane strategies, controlled signal paths, and proper isolation for analog, digital, and mixed-signal designs.
Power & Ground Architecture
Proper rail distribution, decoupling, filtering, and protection to ensure stability, headroom, and immunity to noise and transients.
Mechanical Integration
Boards designed to fit real enclosures, panels, pedals, rack units, and control layouts — including mounting, connectors, switches, and service access.
DFM & Assembly Readiness
Designs prepared for manufacturing with proper footprints, spacing, panelization considerations, and assembly documentation.
Revision & Optimization
Iterative improvements based on testing results, component availability, cost targets, and performance refinements.
Our PCB Design Process
1. Requirements & Scope
We define the electrical, mechanical, and performance requirements — including signal type, operating voltages, noise targets, enclosure constraints, and production goals.
2. Schematic Development
The circuit is captured, reviewed, and refined for correctness, readability, and expandability before layout begins.
3. PCB Layout & Routing
Components are placed and routed with signal flow, grounding, power integrity, thermal behavior, and serviceability in mind.
4. Design Review & Verification
The board is reviewed for electrical integrity, manufacturability, and mechanical fit prior to release.
5. Manufacturing Files
Final outputs include Gerbers, drill files, BOM, pick-and-place data, and documentation needed for fabrication and assembly.
FAQs
Do you design audio-specific PCBs?
Yes. Audio electronics require careful attention to noise, grounding, gain structure, and signal integrity. GLS designs with audio performance as a primary goal.
Can PCB design follow breadboarding?
Absolutely. Many projects begin with breadboarding and move into PCB design once concepts are validated.
Do you support small production runs?
Yes. Designs can be optimized for prototypes, small batches, or scalable production depending on your needs.
Can you work with existing designs?
We can review, improve, or redesign existing schematics and PCBs to improve performance, reliability, or manufacturability.
