Vox Distortion Booster

I came across THIS circuit the other day, breadboarded it, and decided that I wanted to put it into pedal form. I couldn't find a pcb layout for it so I made one myself and figured I would share it would you guys. Sorry if it isn't the best/most efficient. It's the first one I have ever made. The BC108A's have an average gain of about 240 so a 2n3904 or a 2n5089 would work also I do believe (I've only tried the 2n3904).

I don't know if this is bad practice, on my part, but you don't need to wire V2 back to the board, you can solder it right onto the output tip. Just a tip, maybe to keep things less messy!

Doh! I wasn't even thinking about that. I actually put the points so closely together because I plan on sticking a trim pot into there for the gain and volume pots. That way I can just set it and leave it. I put those wires on there so no one would get confused and didn't even think about it. The V2 wire can be ignored.
