Trouble understanding offboard wiring diagram for first perfboard build

[Dormammu]

You could do it with an SPST switch.  Have the low-value cap always in the circuit and use the switch to add the big one in parallel.  Caps in parallel add up, and if the big one is an order of magnitude bigger than the smaller one, the smaller one becomes insignificant and you "hear" just the big one when it's switched in.  More or less.  (Which is enough: this is rock'n'roll, after all.)

Lost out of view. Actually, myself prefer the same type.
Good tip for switching.

they don't let us use that as an excuse for anything around here, except upside-down jokes.

We also take the opportunity to ask "ooh, what's the future like?" on New Year's Eve.

Thanks heaps for all the help folks, this has been my most problematic but also my most fun build! I tried to make a point early on of telling myself this one was about the journey not the destination and I've definitely learned more than I normally do with the kits!

Re: the SPDT is there a tidier way to approach it next time? I feel like I've seen people solder the legs of the caps directly to the lugs?

Oh and for anyone who's reading this who might be new to the whole deal too, get a decent solder sucker, it's been a game changer for me on this build; I used to dread removing components and now it's a breeze!

Pictures below, i actually love the bolt in there in place of the switch
