Hey guys, I'm building my first perfboard pedal and have decided to go with the Zendrive clone on tagboard effects however there's a couple of small things I'm unsure about.

http://tagboardeffects.blogspot.co.uk/2012/01/hermida-zendrive.html

Firstly, according to the picture above I have to wire take a wire from the board to lugs 1 & 2 on the voice pot and another to lugs 1 & 2 on the tone pot. What is the best way to go about this? Should I solder two wires into the individual hole on the board or is it better to run one wire from the board to the pot and just bridge the lugs there?

My second question is about the capacitors that I received in the kit that I bought from the following link:

https://www.bitsbox.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=280_281&products_id=2048&zenid=fng64o47g6vbrj9ghqtcb91mf2

One of the 470nF capacitors is polyester film and the other is polybox but the layout doesn't specify which one goes where so I've put them in as follows:

Does it matter which goes where, and if so have I got them the right way around?

Thanks in advance folks!

Just bridge them at the pot - much easier this way.

It doesnt matter - what you have should be fine.

Good luck!

Keep in mind this is not a perfboard layout - it uses what is usually referred to as stripboard or veroboard. Just in case you end up ordering perfboard instead ;)
