The all points boost is just a LPB-1. Try raising R5 to lower the gain. Start at 470r.

What were the fine tunings compared to the standard Rat?

The cracklejack is nothing more than a SHO: a high headroom, clean boost. Nice build!

Perfboard has its own skill set. You should probably build something more simple before doing a boneyard circuit. You can always desolder it.

This belongs in the troubleshooting forum, not the Boneyard. You will get more traction doing that.

Neatness mostly. Outies stick out too far. They work fine, though

I think there's a lot to unravel here. Each have their pros and cons, and it really boils down to what you want and what you intend to do with it. From what I hear, it's easier to sell a PCB circuit than a stripboard one. Never heard of anyone buying a breadboarded circuit, lol. Breadboard No...

I second what Cybercow has said. You've also got a unique issue with the one knob fuzz (and other fuzz face variants) that is probably the main culprit. In these circuits, the audio path is thrown into the DC path and that's probably what you are hearing when both circuits engaged. See below...

Tubescreamer into a Rat. You're welcome.

I like the hand painted look. We need more of them here instead of UV prints

Don't encourage him...

Yes, into the ground rail (9V plugged in). You can also play around with different values for C3 and C4 to find what you like. The Test Kitched forum has some great breadboarding tutorials.

The bottom section is the power section. It uses a TC1044SCPA and few other parts to be able to provide -9V along with polarity protection (1N5817) from your wall wart or other power supply and powering on a LED.. If you're going to breadboard this first there is no need to use it. Simply flip...

Q2/Q3 seem off. Double check your pin outs and connections. I’ll need to put this back on my board when I have the time and check.
