I'm building the Orange Squeezer vero layout from Torchy (http://aronnelson.com/gallery/albums/album09/Squeezer.gif). I am also using http://www.tonepad.com/getFile.asp?id=11 as a reference to try and figure out where to wire the pots up and my 3PDT switch. I cant really seem to figure this out. Can someone help me out. Thanks.

On the right side of the verolayout says which lugs of the pots go to which strip.level 3 connects to the - side of c6. level 1 connects to the strip where r1 and r11 connect together and level 2 connects to the output jack.

Hope that helps.

PM me with any more questions and I will be glad to help

I still didnt really understand after your reply. I looked at my vintage distortion plus to see how it was wired and I think I have it figured out. Is this right?

Just offhand I can tell you that the "Sustain" pot is shown as a trimmer on the board in the vero layout (R4) You can hook up a regular pot to the vero instead of the trimmer.
General guitar gadgets has a great layout showing the pots etc.

So theres only a volume and the trimpot (sustain)? So, Which connections should I wire to the volume spot specifically.

One thing that confuses me is that....

The GGG Layout shows:  input, ground, 9v, & output coming from the board
The Torcy Layout shows: input, ground, 9v & two others (one output and one ?) coming out of the board.

Connect Level 1 &3 as indicated.

Connect your "Level" pot lug 2 to your output jack. (or output lug on Switch etc)

Connect Ground to ground (Input jack ground perhaps)

Connect Input to Input jack(or input lug on switch if you are using one)

Negative battery lug goes to Ground on vero (via the ring connection on the input jack-see GGG layout)

Hope this helps!
