just want to know if this works

[neuroticdax]

ok so im incredibly out of practice and havent used some of the tools available before (diy layout creator namely) so i tryed an easy circuit to start out with and i unfortunatly dont yet have all the parts to test with so i just wanted to know if the vero layout iv made will work as intended

this is the circuit diagram and pcb layout by the maker:

and the layout i made (im not putting an led or a footswitch on yet):

R2 doesn't seem to connect to the base of Q1.

ah...derp gimme a second ill update it

ok its updated now

Also something to keep in mind. Your transistor more than likely will only take up 1 vertical column and 3 Horizontal rows. Similar to a snowman.

Any Particular Reason you have the battery conncted to the DPDT?

[neuroticdax]

as a bypass i just want to also make sure that the battery didnt drain whlie the circuit isnt being used

oh also when i wire it up chances are ill make it alot smaller than it is on the board (i did a fetzer/ruby that came out 1/2 the size it was on the board)

the other thing i was a slight bit unclear about is on my schematic as i understand it the hot tip on either jack is in/out where the ground for the jacks are just a wire between the two sleeves

i was wondering if the sleeve wires just go to either side of the ground rail (or the rail the neutral of the power supply is attached to) instead

again im very out of practice all i need are a few holes in my knowledge filling in

Do you plan on using an AC adapter Jack?

umm im undecided as yet probably a battery or both

i get the feeling you're about to tell me to watch out for the amperage if so what should i look out for

[pappasmurfsharem]

Nope not at all

I was going to say if you use a DC Jack then you can write it to disconnect thebattery when an external power source is plugged in

Otherwise you can wire the negative lead on the battery to the ring Jack on in a stereo input Jack to disconnect the battery when a cable isn't plugged in search beavis audio for their writing diagram to get an idea

i have been researching a lot of different websites (beavis being one of them) and i can make most of it out for myself from the diy layout creator exports and if that circuit i posted works then from circuit diagrams as well...the only thing that is bugging me really is like i said the ground unfortunately out of all the spare parts i have laying around not alot of them are the ones i need so i can just test it and see what happens but so far i have it pretty much down
