I actually built this and wanted to share, but I think you guys could do a better job than I did on it to make it more tight.

Here is my layout.  It works, I found this pedal to sound great, a bit noisy on higher gains, but I really like it.

Hi Ralf.
Thanks for the heads up on the VFE schematics!
You need to reverse the 100uF on your layout.
The size is 23 x 14 (not 19)
If you move a few components on the right side of the IC you can reduce it to 19 x 14 and fit it in a 1590B.

You can also add Volume 1 on row 3, directly below Volume 3, on the ground row.
Don't forget to put your name on the layout!

Thanks Alex!

I double checked my build and had the 100uf correct there fortunately.  Thanks for catching that, and the board size which I always mess up.  I always have to count like 3 times to make sure I'm cutting my boards right.  I'll make the changes you suggested and clean up the board a bit.  Appreciate your feedback.  I was intending on you giving this to you guys as a start and then you making it pretty and sharing it on the page.  But I'll make it as pretty as I can and you can do with it what you like.

Thanks for all your work on blog, many of these builds have made it onto my gigging pedal board.  And I've learned a ton.

Here is an updated layout, I have not verified this version, but I think it works with the schematic.  Much cleaner, smaller, and more purrrdy.  Hope it's right.  Thanks for the tips.
