One Knob Fuzz Face Schematic - Am I doing this right?

Hey guys, new around here :)

I'm planning on building a fuzz face style circuit with only one pot, where the fuzz control is essentially cranked to full internally and the only control is volume (the idea is to use a slide potentionmeter so that the level can be changed with your foot if you want, plus sliders are just cool. Not that it's relevant to my post...). I want to mount everything to one PCB instead of using daughterboards and loose-hanging parts so I'm designing a PCB to house everything. Because I'm just a beginner at designing PCBs I wanted to double check the schematic looks right before I go about actually laying out the PCB. I realise I've not laid everything out in the most intuitive way but I hope you can tell what's going on. Ok sorry for the ramble, my question is:

Does this schematic look correct?

(Additional info: the three switches at the top are meant to be the 3PDT footswitch. I used the madbeanpedals tutorial for wiring it up (https://www.madbeanpedals.com/tutorials/downloads/MBP_FootswitchWiring.pdf))

I haven't had enough coffee to double check the switching, but the rest of the board looks ok at a cursory glance. Here's my equivalent (I just shoved two boards together, and I do have a bunch of additional switching/filtering going on).



Learn to use nets though - it's gonna save you a lot of issues. You can also use as many ground symbols as you like, meaning you don't have to run a stack of wires around your drawing.

Ahh ok, thanks for the feedback! I'll have another stab at the schematic and try to make it make more sense before I move on - I'm mainly doing this for the learning experience so I want to get it right haha
