Could someone make sure these layouts look okay?

At a first glance, R1 in the "Punch in the Face" doesn't seem to connect to anything.

Do you have schematics for comparison?

Good luck

Woops...thats supposed to connect to the first pot on the left  :icon_lol:

Yeah, for the PITF the open end of R1 needs to go to the open lug on P29...and if Q1 is a 5088, it looks like your pinout is incorrect, cuz you have C1 going into the emitter (should go to base), R2 going to the base (should go to collector), and the collector grounded (should be emitter grounded).  Plus, from what I can tell, it looks like the base & collector from the 5088 and the drain from the J201 are all grounded.  The source from the J201 is also not connected to anything, but should go to lug 3 of P29.  The bottom lead of C2 should go to ground & should not connect to R2 (the upper lead should).  There's a couple other probs, too...you may want to give this one another go, man.   ;)

Any probs with the boost? I think i may try the PITF again...

Well, assuming that the boost is Dragonfly's Jfet Boost, yeah, I'm afraid there are some probs there too...real quick, you could extend your ground rail to the left of the board... the ends of R1 and R3 that currently go to Q1 should instead go to ground.  Rotate Q1 180 degrees (gotta watch your pinouts)...after doing so, connect junction of R2 and R3 to bottom lead of Q1 (this is the gate)...C1, which is currently disconnected on one side, should have positive lead to junction of R5 and Q1 source (middle lead of Q1) and neg lead to ground...lug 1 of pot (currently disconnected) should go to ground...R4 and C2 remain as is (connected to top lead of Q1 after rotating- this is the drain).   Keep tryin', brother!  :)
