Very nice project, but almost all the time out of stock and if not, imo too expensive, (120$ for a kit plus shipping). Sadly you cannot order the PCB only...
PCB pics are available for free on the official website, front and back.

Crown Jewel

The Crown Jewel from Build Your Own Clone is the ultimate drive and boost combo. It is not a clone of anything. It is an amalgamation of the best qualities from many different circuits to create something entirely new that is capable of producing a range of overdrive and distortion tones like no...

Stripboard layout (without the uC Relay switching) available but not verified, as it seems.

There is a dry blend add-on to the Crown Jewel: https://buildyourownclone.myshopify.com/collections/crown-jewel/products/crown-jewel-dry-blend-board

The dry blend schematic is on the last page of the associated build doc. It is what connects to "A", "B", and "C" on your PCB. It does appear that your C is connected to the wrong place. It should connect to the other end of C16 from B. If I follow your traces correctly, it looks like you have it between R19 and R26, when it should be between R19 and R20.

C16 is omitted when using the dry blend add-on.

I think its current implementation sucks, as it is an obvious afterthought. You have to have a random pot sticking out of the left side of the enclosure and remember to put several components on the other side of the board. Not horrible, but I'd almost rather see it replace the modular boost section in the upper left of the pedal.

The "A" "B" and "C" - connections didnt line up between the schematic and layout, so I labeled them "todo" in my head... thanks for reminding me though, i would have fergot :D I'll look at it.

What layout would you suggest? Btw. If I seem rude please excuse me, english is not my native language. :)

It seems kinda strange to request it and then the next day show that you traced it and did a layout. I guess we can consider this fulfilled?I get your confusion

I understand your confusion. It might seem strange rn but I dont trust my skills yet. I would call it "fullfilled" if sb built it successfully, using my layout - which probably will not happen any time soon (including me, but I'm working on it) ;P

BTW.: Can you share your experiences with byoc with me - I dont have any.
