once ive designed a circuit how do i determine what voltage power supply would be suitable?

Ohm's Law
(Most people start with the voltage, and make the circuit around it)

It is in general backwards to do that in the way you've described, designing a circuit, then picking a suitable power supply.

Rather, the power supply voltage is nearly always a given starting point, and you make the circuit work within the available power supply.

In response to the questions in the forum - PCB Layout for Musical Effects is available from The Book Patch. Search "PCB Layout" and it ought to appear.
