Re: About to build my first pedal.
One knob fuzz. Cool. Unfortunately, Vero board is not the friendliest material for a first build. Some desoldering braid/wick should clean up the solder bridges. You may find it easier to use than a solder sucker. I have a desoldering station along with a few manual solder suckers but I reach for the braid for clean up's. The type with the flux is my favorite.

Re: About to build my first pedal.
If you reflow the solder, you can use a small metal tool between the bridged solder pads to break the bridge. But ... it can end up moving that solder somewhere you don't want it to and causes a bridge somewhere else.

Re: About to build my first pedal.
Mammoth Electronics and Arcadia Electronics are two kit suppliers I use when I'm in the DIY mood, their 808 Overdrive I have built and tweaked (new Op-Amp, different value caps and diodes) to get a sound I like....
