Those two tantalums are polarized. But on the schematic's there are no indications where goes positive and where negative side, of both of them. Can someone help plz.

I was able to look at the pcb trace and figure out which side of the connection was positive.  You can also use the schematic.  Just trace the circuit from the positive battery feed.  If you can't figure it out, I'll see if I can find my marked up build sheet and post it for you.

Let's try
That tant that's between tone pot and 220k. Negative is connected to 220k?
The other tant. Negative goes to the ground?
Am i right?

yes and yes, but it's a 220R not 220k resistor to ground.
I'm a refugee of the great dropbox purge of '17.
Project details (schematics, layouts, etc) are slowly being added here: http://samdump.wordpress.com

You are right, 220 r ... I've almost placed 220k there. Thnx guys.
