First Layout created, how does it look?

[Scott674]

Hello All.

I've built a handful of effects, but have yet to take a raw schematic and turn it into an effect.  I've always had RTS PCB's or step by step exacting instructions for perfboarding.  So, using Banicka's fantastic software, I've made a layout of Aron Nelson's "The Rocket" and am preparing to etch my first board with my first layout!  (There's probably a layout for this already somewhere, but I really wanted to do a layout myself).

Can I get some input/feedback/checking for silly errors?
The transistors may be orientated incorrectly, I've yet to find a datasheet that I'm capable of understanding so that's pending,  I'm pretty new to this stuff...  Otherwise I'm pretty proud of my work (I think... just wait till some comments show up though  )
Also, the Cap numbers don't quite line up with the schematic.

The transistors need to all be flipped around.

Other than that, it looks good to me.

Here's the datasheet:

Just take a look at the picture of the transistor with the CBE.

And here's a nice photo to show you what the C, B, and E are in schematic form:

NPN BIPOLAR TRANSISTOR (what the 2n5088 is)


PNP BIPOLAR TRANSISTOR

Thanks for the Transistor info, it's much appreciated!

I'm totally stoked!  I can't wait to etch it up!  (I have to wait for the transfer paper to arrive though )

Should be here sometime this week.  I'll see about getting some pics of this as I go!

does B C an E stand for things, respectively--or are they just general variables?

B = Base
C = Collector
E = Emitter
