hey all. i am trying to build the colorsound one knob fuzz pedal and this is the first veroboard build i'm doing. i am using this layout;

i got all the components on the board but at this point i can't wrap my head around wiring everything together. i am also going off of this diagram for wiring the 3pdt stomp switch;

here is what i'm thinking so far;

i think i know where all the cables go but my one question is this; do i connect both ground cables from the input and output jack to the middle lug of the 3pdt switch?

Any ground wire is more conveniently placed close to the switch.. :icon_wink:

Of course, there should be wiring connection between power supply GND, IN jack sleeve, PCB GND and OUT jack sleeve..

Below is a general wiring diagram.. GNDs are Black, Blue & Purple wires
(3PDT switch is wired for bot IN & OUT grounded when effect bypassed.. you can ignore it and make your simple wiring,,) :icon_wink:

If you're talking about 3PDT switch wiring, YES..!! :icon_wink:
(it might not even need any extra wiring for IN-OUT anti-pop grounding 'cause thery are already grounded via 1M resistor and 500k Volume pot..)

Yes, but you will also need a connection between +9v to a current limiting resistor (e.g. 10k) then on to the LED positive terminal (not shown in your diagram)
