i'd like to do a similar circuit....if/when i make a pcb for it- lol.   it's slightly diff from the other builds i've done.

you run three leads to the volume pots and the others, as shown.....but there is also a solder pad for the pcb "out". 

I'm assuming the lead from "out" goes to the 3PDT switch?

Notice the vol lug 2 is output of pcb in this case it's fed back to a pcb trace that's all. It just requires a further wire from board out to 3pdt.
I usually just go from pot wiper to 3pdt.
Less wire. Etc

kipper4---   so you could wire it either way you want?  1) a lead to lug 2 and a lead from the PCB "out" pad to the 3PDT switch.

or, 2)  just one lead from pot wiper straight to the 3PDT switch....and just "skip" that little bit of trace?

yep both those will work
I'd opt to do, pot wiper to switch yep.
one less wire=one thing less to go wrong.
one reason we keep traces and wires short is because of RF (radio freqauncy) interferance.
So less wire is mostly better.
As you start to draw shematics (I use Eagle cadsoft free) and your own layouts (I use DIYLC)
you will realise that physical connections between componants and nodes can be less cumbersome than it looks in a schematic.
