Working on Boss CE-2 PCB layout (tonepad schem), anyone care to look it over?

I'm working on a PCB layout for the CE-2 (Corrral Chorus on Tonepad) which has the input and output jacks and footswitch all pcb-mounted (a la soggybag). Are there any signal routing issues I should be careful of? I made sure to keep C30 right next to IC4, and C29 close to IC2. The clean path is all right around the footswitch and input jack, don't know what else I should be looking out for. Any pointers? I'd just like a second opinion before I etch and drill.

Thanks!

Humm, well, I found a little mistake, the two 47uF capacitors are the wrong size, they'll wind up sitting really awkwardly on the board, crammed in amongst other components. Most of the caps I'm using are the AVX box-style film ones (the little yellow guys). Obvoisly, the 47uFs are a little big for that form factor. Needs a little rearranging.

What about a starred power net? Does this circuit warrant it? Antone out there with a noisy Corrrral?

no one ever

i was going to suggest thicker traces (blue=copper, right?), but it seems you know more than i would  ;D
