First PCB Design! (in EasyEDA Pro)

Can't believe I'm the first post in this sub lol. I guess EasyEDA is not too popular lol... Anyway, I use JLCPCB to manufacture PCBs from different designers, and after building like 60 different pedals over a year and a half, I wanted to dive deep into the world of PCB design. I watched a couple of videos, mostly from this YT series, and chose the Bazz Fuss for my first experiment. I didn't really know where to start because I breadboarded the Bazz Fuss, started changing some components, and also learned EasyEDA at the same time, so it quickly got mixed up between experimentation, schematics, and design. I posted some versions on Reddit and quickly realized that it wasn't as final as I thought. While the DIY Pedals community was really helpful on reddit, I figured a forum might be more appropriate since it's a work in progress and easier to track the "progress". If it can also help others at the same time that's awesome.

The initial goal was to fit a bazz fuss (from Hemmo) in a 1590A enclosure because my pedalboard is full, and since it's a very simple schematic, it should fit right! However, I decided to experiment on the breadboard and first added a DIP switch. Later, I replaced the DIP with an On-Off-On switch because I wanted to be able to change settings without opening the pedal and also because the diode is needed for bias. I gave up on the "BIAS" (I think it's more to limit the current) trimpot because I'm always using the lowest resistance setting , even at 18v (this is why I use a BAT48 instead of a 1N5817 for protection). After a couple of iterations and some trial and error, this is my third version. I have no DRC errors but since I don't really know what to look at, maybe someone will find something wrong here Any advice, comments, spotted problems, etc.?
