Hi guys,
Can anyone help me designing a PCB layout or a VERO Schematic of this?

Is this PCB layout suitable for your pedal enclosure.
I still need to finish it in accordance with the schematic.
You can print the layout, cut it out and see if it fits in your enclosure.

Amazing Help!!
Do you have the gerber files (Projecti files) of this, so i can print a Legit PCB ?

Thank you so much

I finished the layout and created a modified one that did not require the two wire connections on the copper side. I found the schematic by tracing the board.
For the capacitors I took the values from the schematic in the post above, whether these values are correct I don't know.
The transistors on the picture of the layout are not BC109B according to the package shape, BC549 should work though.
The coil in the layout I chose the pin spacing that fits a FASEL type.

@Rebuilder
Can you read or measure the potentiometer value in your pedal?

I think it is the original one, i don't even know if it works or not, i will try to read the value later today, and let you know...
