Hey guys, I got this schematic for a fuzz pedal that i'm building for a friend of mine but, I have no idea how to really read it. I've been going just by common sense and from the experience I have modifying pedals. I was wondering if one of you guys here could help me trace it to form a layout of how things are supposed to connect to each other? This is my first build from scratch so I would really appreciate the help. If your willing to help me out i will email the schematic to your address. It seems like a really simple fuzz pedal to build. 12 components total. My email is rectotwin483@netzero.net    Thanks

Thanks to theehman i got this sucker hooked up. One quick question though.....I made it on a perf board and the traces are ridiculously close to eack other. I made sure that none of the traces are touching each other and the actual solder isn't but the glue that flows rom the solder is touching each other in some traces. Will this mess with the pedal at all. It seems like a dunb question i know,....but, i thought i would just ask none the less. Thanks

i"m guessing that you"re talking about the flux that melts out when you solder? no it shouldn't cause a short but, as a good practice i suggest cleaning the board/joints with some rubbing alcohol and an old toothbrush.

That's the way to do it.

LMK how everything turns out.  I made the board small because I figured you were using a small enclosure.  Guess I should've asked first.
Got pics of the board?
