Didn't take long. I have the transistor leads long (untrimmed) right now, and a couple of them were shorting. Problem solved...it works! My first DIY circuit board and it works!
How does it sound, you wonder? It sounds insanely good. I built a lot of tonal options into it, so it can go from slightly distorted to (surprise) very Hendrixy/violin like. And it cleans up very nicely with the volume pot on the guitar. I want to experiment with some different transistors with different gains, but I'm putting it into a box first. The picture above is me starting to think about layout. Four pots and one switch need to go on the box. Hmmm.
After pondering for a while, I finally turned off the lights and headed upstairs. Good thing I looked back at the bench - I left the LED lights on my Optivisor on. I did this recently and they were on overnight. Yikes.
