Quick Scrambler Question - C4 Orientation (not C3)

I've seen several schematics (negative ground) for the scrambler and I'm confused as to the orientation of the 4.7uf (5uf) cap coming off Q2's collector.  Some schematics show the positive lead facing the collector and the negative lead facing the diodes (fuzz central), and other schematics have it reversed (general guitar gadgets).  Does it matter which way this cap is laid out?  

Sorry if this was already mentioned in another thread, after looking through about 12 scrambler threads I just decided to ask.

Thanks,

If memory serves me, negative leg of the cap to Q2 collector. That's the way I've seen it on the original Ampeg schematic.
