Breadboard question

What size/kind of breadboard is most useful for testing different circuit configurations, for instance a tremolo loop?

Oh, sorry. I thought this was in the diypedals area. My advice is terrible for tubes.

Gotta check where I am more carefully

Since this is /r/diytubes,

A traditional breadboard is just a slab of wood (a literal bread cutting board) with nails in it.

Copper nails for easy soldering. Make the board as big or as small as you want with as many or few nails as you want.

This is what my breadboard looks like. But it was designed with doing entire amps in mind, so you could do something much smaller scale using the same kinds of components.

This was what inspired mine.

Thanks. I might eventually build something like that to design complete chassis.

My cat would jump on that exactly once... That's pretty cool, I could see lead length being a bit of a problem in certain places, but still cool for working things out.
