From a quick glance, it looks like everything is connected correctly. You could probably trim down the layout a bit. I've only ever done one vero layout/build, so maybe someone else will catch something, but it looks correct to me. If you want, you can just wire lug 2 of the pot straight to the output jack and not run the wire to the board first.

ok. I'll do that.. But do you think that the bigger layout will cause problems in the sound?

But can anyone tell me if the layout is right? I want to know if I do it the right way.. 
Thanks!

An unshielded fuzz circuit is going to be noisy.  Just grounding the jacks only completes the circuit so you get a signal.  Once in the enclosure the jacks ground through the enclosure and help shield the effect.

Aha.. I understand.. Thanks, Josh!!!

Is it in an enclosure or are you testing it out of box?

It will be pretty noisy unshielded.

I wanted to tell you about that.. I haven't boxed it yet, because I prefered to follow Brian's rule. I thought that if I grounded the jacks, it wouldn't have a problem.. Do you think it's because of me not boxing it?
Now for the layout. Do you think it's right? It's the first time I do this..

Hi there! Need help here!

I built a sprout fuzz on veroboard (the one with the parallel lines  )..
When I plug it in, it plays ok, but it makes noise in the background (when I don't play.. ).
I double-checked for bad joints, wiring, etc., but I did not find something wrong. Maybe the fault is in the layout I made, so I attached the layout I made on DIY LC. I'm noob in this program, so I hope it does not confuse you..
I hope I made you understand what's the problem..
If you need any extra information, tell me

Thanks!

I'm going to build this pedal, too. I bought BC108, BC109 and 2n5088s. I'll try them and tell you how it goes. But I agree that the BCs would be a good choice, because I heard them on youtube in other DIY One-Knob-Fuzzes, and I really liked them...

An entire series of mini pedals?    That's a great idea!
I can't wait for its completion! 

Really cool.. Looks very professional! 
I saw the Greek flag on the pcb. Are you from Greece?
Me too!
