Two more Skyripper questions

I'm thinking the "ripper" pot on the schematic below is a 100K pot with a spdt switch. Can someone confirm this and point me in a direction that explains how to wire it?
Also, Smallbear just has 500K dual gang pots, not the 1 meg used for "buffer" as on the schematic. The FAQ's say this should work although maybe differently. Any thoughts about that also? Thanks in advance for any help.

That 100k has a built on spst switch on the back...... the switch looks like it simply justs opens and closes the circuit on leg 3 of the pot. I really want to build the Skyripper also, but I'll be a bit behind you until I can get some funds up for another parts order for a few more projects. Good luck!!!!

That circuit is a whopper.
 I tried a Brontoboost Clone, decided buying one would have been a better option.

I built one 3-4 years ago.  It is still my favorite fuzz.  I still haven't boxed it up, though.  It has too many knobs for me to wrap my head around the logistics of positioning them all.

I originally had the effects loop wired in.  I never used it, so I eventually removed the jacks from the circuit.

You'll love it!
