Hey,

Found this single knob fuzz based on Tim's lofomofo on Dragonfly's gallery.

However i found halfway thorugh my build that i only had 1uF electrolytic capacitors, whereas the layout shows ceramic/film ones.

Could anyone show me the correct polarity for the marked capacitors?

Many Thanks,

  caps should always 'follow' polarity, polarized caps that is..
  so + of the cap goes to battery +
Convention creates following, following creates convention.

Thanks!

What does that make the output cap's polarity:
              ____
        +    |     |   -
              |     |
              |___|    
                |   |
circuit____|    |____to pot. --->

???

Many Thanks!

  I'm assuming the red battery wire is positive, so the cap+ would connect to the battery +
  Your drawing looks right.
