I think it already has the 100uf cap - it is c6 in the schematic?

Yhep, you are right C6 is a 100uf 16v electrolytic cap

You might also find that the circuit is quieter and less distorted once you get it on the PCB. I find that bread boarding will sometimes introduce a whole bunch of noise due to the wires going everywhere.

Yhep again Matt, there is definatley an overall buzzin that i thought may be reduced once on the PCB and boxed.

alright I'll try changing R3 to either 50k or 200k and I think ive got a 500k pot somewhere here too! I'll also try connecting the metal plate of my breadboard to circuit ground

I'll also try reducing C3 to 22nF (.022uf, or 223), and C5 to maybe 100nF (.1uf, 104)

Thanks guys you really are helping me out!
