Electronics editor/simulator

[Frick]

Hey hey!

So I'm starting with electronics again (the long term plan is to build my own guitar/base effects). I have a very pitiful, sorrowful and pathetic base amp here and I figured I would draw it in an editor, as a learning project. It is really rather pathetic, so it wouldn't be too difficult. Now I just need a program for it as the one we used in school (don't remember the name) doesn't work with 64-bit OS's.

I have used Circuitlab in the past (in fact I started this "project" there), but they want money now or you get interrupted every ten minutes and you have to either answer three questions (sometimes this doesn't work) OR wait 30 seconds. Which is infuriating. Sure it's cheap ($39/year for the basicest basic version) but if I can get by without paying that would be great. I did try Partsim, but that just isn't as good. The editor is sort of buggy and sluggish.

So any ideas? I could draw the thing on a bunch of papers, but I don't wanna. To learn how to create coherent blueprints is part of the plan.

Thanks for looking!

i try that eletroncic circut design thing an does't work 64bit

I was looking for usefull tips from people who have used such programs. Downloading the evaluation version of OrCAD as we speak (the program we used in school was like an ancient full version of it), will see how that is. I do like the sharing thing the online editors have though.

EDIT: Hey Circuitlab's "preview" thing will only let you use it 120 minutes/week. BLERGHEEREHEggggggg
