I'd be glad to share the PCB layout I did for this circuit if you're ok with that Joe... It's pretty basic being my first go at PCB layout, but it works! Just gotta figure out how to correctly export it from Eagle....

Sure, I love seeing new layouts for stuff - mine included

Go ahead and post it right in this section if you want.

Not sure if this is the best way to do this, but these are the exports from eagle... seems like they came out a bit big...

and with parts:

Neat! I haven't tried my hand at making PCBs yet since most of my circuits I've been able to perf or use vero. This might be a good one to cut my teeth on.

Same here actually, been building everything on perf for a couple of years now, buying PCB from forum users from time to time. Finally decided to jump into PCB etching, I highly recommend it! Just to get a quick start I went ahead and purchased the kit from small bear... super helpful, and there's enough materials for easily 5 or 6 small boards!

I do know that the 5th gear OD that I play is built on vero using Dragon Fly's layout, corrected diode orientation and all.

Wrong! I checked and I definitely have it the way my schematic is. I'm going to keep building it that way since I know it sounds good (to me) and it works so well. So to set the record straight, according to me, Dragon Fly's layout is backwards.

Ah.. maybe that's why mine's not working right. I've got it on the breadboard.. I'll try swtiching the diodes around tonight.

It could be, although I've heard of people building it right off the vero layout which has them backwards and they were happy with the results. I'm not sure sonically how much it makes a difference.

I may get soundclips of it this weekend, but this turned out to be awful tiny.
