This is the strangest stompbox schematic I've ever seen. I cant see how it works in spite of the almost zero opamp bias voltage. It looks like as if there is a miswiring around the first transistor, 1uF capacitor and the 1K resistor. Is this schematic correct?

That first transistor stage is all wrong. This is more like it.

Thanks! I'm building one.

This thing makes strange oscillations when the volume pot is connected. (I've removed it).  
 
Yeah I know. Star grounding and lead dress etc...  
 
But since this isn't a tube amp, I'd thought I could break the rules a bit while building a stompbox. I was wrong.This is the first stompbox I've built and it's working fine except the volume pot.
