I'm sorry about posting this again, but i'm having a very hard time figuring out how to wire up my Fuzz Face built from Fuzz Central.

Here are the resources i am using, found in the sites FAQ:

http://fuzzcentral.ssguitar.com/faq/switchwiringpnp.gif
http://fuzzcentral.ssguitar.com/faq/circuitwiringpnp.gif
http://fuzzcentral.ssguitar.com/faq/powerjackwiring.gif
and another member sent me this link to possibly cure my questions regarding the power jack: http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/diagrams/fuzzface_lo_pp.gif

if someone could walk me through this, and let me know if this is correct, that would be great!

starting with the PCB, i have the following pads
1. going to the input
2. going to fuzz lug #2 on pot
3. grounds for Fuzz pot  lug#1, Vol pot lug #1, input jack shield, output jack shield
4. 2 -9v dc pads going to switch (where it's labeled -9vdc), and to the negative wire on the battery snap
5. vol pot lug #3
6. fuzz pot lug #3

now, on the 3dpt switch i don't have many questions, but that where it shows where the resister going to the LED is connected, the other side of the LED is going to a ground.  where am i supposed to ground this if all 4 pads are already used on the board? also, the volume pot's lug #2 is the output, correct?

Finally, i'm at the DC adapter.  This one is throwing me for a loop.  At another member's suggestion, i wired it this way- http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/diagrams/fuzzface_lo_pp.gif .  i'd explain how i wired it, but i can't find any info on what lug is the tip, shield or ring.

could someone please help me with this?  i'm in need of some help on this one!

looks like you have everything correct on your list.
the hookup for your LED ground can be hooked to the closest ground, just pick one, they all connect.
my life is a tribute to the the great men and women who held this country together when the world was in trouble. my debt cannot be repaid, but i will do my best.
