Not saying nobody should do it, just that I wouldn't trust myself with the level of focus attention to detail it requires.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
If everything is done in a logical fashion, and double checked, then they *should* work if a correct layout is followed. However, i wonder how much inter-track capacitance affects the circuits? Or poor quality components (semiconductors here)? Obviously misplaced components and solder bridges incresse in likelihood the more solder joints there are.
Id suggest a Naga Viper as a simple Vero circuit that soundz good.

Yep. I think the most complicated thing I've built on Vero was a Skreddy Screwdriver Deluxe (in a 1590BB enclosure because measuring and drilling for five knobs on anything smaller would have been a recipe for disaster). That's about my limit.
It's actually the enclosure drilling that I hate the most- decent enclosures are by far the most expensive individual part of most builds (unless you're into NOS germanium transistors or something) and it's very easy to make mistakes that you can't un-make.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
On the plus side, the Vero layout incorporates trim pots for the tape speed ramp-up and -down, and LEDs that act as crude limiters to stop the PT2399s distorting too much.
The 'focus and attention to detail' thing is what makes these builds so engrossing. Vero builds can be pretty hard to troubleshoot, but so satisfying when you get them all working. Building a pedal kit is more fulfilling than just buying a pedal, making the board from scratch even more so, incorporating your own tweaks better still.
Anyway I've ordered a pack of Vero and it should be here this week.
Not all phasers need matched FETs. I built a Jed's Peds EQD Grand Orbiter clone a while back. All ICs, not a single discrete transistor in the house, and sounds brilliant. They have a Mu-Tron phaser kit too- it's a big kit, and looks complicated, but no FETs.
I wouldn't want to be matching transistors myself either, but that doesn't have to stop you building phasers...

I havent tweaked any circuits yet, but there are a few I have in mind, mostly simpler Lovepedal copies/evolutions of the Electra OD circuit.
As yet, I havent tried a kit, or SMD components - although if I do anything else with J201's, I might have to.

Let's consider a 5cm run of parallel copper strips. We are considering the capacitor formed by their two thin edges.
The thickness of the strip is maybe 0.1mm, so area of an edge is A = 0.05m x 0.0001m = 5x10^-6m^2 (sorry I can't get superscripts to work).
I measured the gap d at 0.5mm i.e. 5x10^-4m.
The relative permittivity of air is as close to 1 as to make no difference so we use the free space figure 8.854x10^-12Fm^-1.
So the capacitance is
C = 8.854x10^-12Fm^-1 x 5x10^-6m^2 / 5x10^-4m
= 4.427x10^-13F
= 0.44pF.
I'd call that negligible!
The quality of the chips is an issue though - PT2399s are well know to vary in quality so I bought a pack of 4 to start with and will use the best 2.

You can't redrill over the same area but it fixes like a champ
I don't think this board is ever going to look super tidy but then that's not the point of the build...
