i did this pcb for the jawari that can be found at http://www.geocities.com/tpe123/folkurban/fuzz/snippets.html

i don't know the transformer size exactly but i can resize the pcb anytime.
How will it work? advices/comments are welcome!

If that's your first, looks good!

It's usually better to keep electolytics all at the same orientation (to reduce assembly errors). My preference then is to try and keep all resistors and caps oriented the same way (horizontal or vertical) ... but the main things are that a) it works and b) it isn't too hard to assemble.

Here's an example of a simple PCB layout I did with most parts aligned the same way:

Looks great. With more practice, you will draw layouts for harder to build effects.

what abput that? i used the actual size for the components... even if i can't find them in my town, i'll use internet....

Well, what do you think? Don't you reckon it looks 'better'? No need to follow my suggestions or 'style' of course, but the difference (to me) between your first effort (which was pretty good) is amazing. Sincere congratulations!
