BYOC 5 Knob Compressor Schematic question

Hi there, I'm new to the DIY stomp box world. I've built a few simple projects recently like an OD pedal, booster, buffer, etc. I thought I'd try something a bit more difficult and I decided to build a BYOC 5 Knob Compressor. I've already ordered all the parts for it except BYOC's website stopped selling the PC boards so that's the only thing I'm missing. I'm gonna try and do my own layout and I got a little stumped on the Schematic, and I'm sure it's a really noob question. There's little circles with A or B in them and i was just wondering if they were all connected together, like all the A's together and all the B's together. I thought it might have something to do with the original PCB being 2 sided, but i didn't think that would be shown on a Schematic. I plan on doing it all on a single sided PCB. Anyone that can clear this up for me I'd much appreciate. And any other tips I'll take too thanks!

here's the schematic i got off of the BYOC website

> all the A's together and all the B's together

Yes.

Just like all the "+V" go together, all the "+4.5V" go together, all the "VrefA" go together.

Sometimes you just don't want to draw lines ALL over.



I do think the A (direct) and B (limited) lines "could" have been drawn-in. A only goes to two nearby places, and B only goes to one other place though the route is awkward.

Thanks a Heap! I appreciate you taking the time to draw all the lines. I just wanted to make sure before i got started. Now I gotta try to sketch a layout. I think i might have bit off a little more then i can chew, but we'll see. I'll post a pic of the sketch when i'm done and you guys can give me some pointers and criticism
