My Buzzaround Perf Layout

I'm working on a clone of a Burns Buzzaround (similar to a Colorsound Tonebender), and was wondering if anyone would mind comparing my perfboard layout to the schematic. I've built a few pedals in the past, but always based on someone else's layout, so this is new territory for me. Except for adding a 1M pulldown resistor on the input, I stuck to the schematic.

I know it's not the prettiest thing in the word - in particular, I'd like to move ALL of the offboard wiring pads to the edges - but I'm just trying to establish that the thing is correct; I already screwed up one perf board when I tried to create the layout on the fly while soldering (bad idea ), and don't want to screw up another one. I'm not sure if I have the transistor sockets angled correctly, but I'll be installing them so that, going top to bottom as seen on the board, all three line up as CBE (collector/base/emitter). Any corrections, insight, or suggestions would be appreciated.

By the way, I've got the circuit on my breadboard right now; sounds phenomenal, particularly for Fripp-like leads (most famous user of the BB).
