New Pedal

I am a new at working with electronics and pedals. I was excited to take an idea and create a pedal that actually works. My experience consists of assembling Stewmac kits and from PedalPCB I made the article 59 and a reverb pedal. For this one I watched a Josh (JHS) video and copied much for the booster and clipping stage. Then I copied the Big Muff's tone stage to add more control and I made this pedal. The switch is an on/off/on which switches between N4148 and 1N34 diodes with off (center position) acting more like an overdrive/booster pedal. I laid it out and tweaked things on the breadboard. I changed a few values here and there but this is basically it. I also enjoy making the graphics. Last image is my work area.

How can I improve this for the next time?

So, is this an Electra with a BMP tone control plus recovery stage? If you could post a full schematic that would be helpful.
