I'm kind of new at this and I was wondering, how to you guys look at the schematic and then come up with the layout? I've always had trouble following the schematic, and I can't see how you would be able to transfer the two. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Beavis Audio have a great guide From Schematic to Reality, check it out.

Here ya go, everything you should need to know,

Wow, that's really helpful. The only thing I don't understand is what is the deal with the jumpering? Why are some of the spots on the breadboard jumpered?

Because of the way breadboards are laid out, you only have so many continuous rows. You need to run a jumper to connect the different strips to other parts of the board. Think of jumpers as traces on a circuit board - they are just conduits for electrons to flow to normally unconnected pathways.

Thanks for the response about the jumpers. That makes sense and that was what I thought they were for, I just wasn't sure.

Thanks for the links i just decided to give effects building a try and there is a wealth of information in these forums.
