Sanity check on my perfboard voltage doubler

Hello!

I'm working on getting a Deluxe Electric Mistress going (from Madbean) and I wanted to run it 18V internally but keep my standard 9V throughout my pedalboard.

PedalPCB and AionFX both have very nice voltage doubler PCBs:

However, they both integrate with the footswitch which poses a problem with this build as I don't have much extra space around the footswitch. So, I grabbed the schematic from AionFX's 18V Voltage Doubler project (see link above) and made it into a perfboard layout:

I was just hoping to get another set of eyeballs on it before I fire up the soldering iron. I know it's likely poor form to angle the electrolytics how I did but I wanted to keep things small.

Any suggestions or comments are welcome!

Edit: here's the schematic so you don't have to go hunt for it :)
