Building Shika fuzz on Double Muff board

Looking to build Shika fuzz on double muff board - Would just like to clarify a few things.
As the tone pot is reversed on the Shika, are the following mods correct?

R17 - 3.3nf
R18 - 10nf
C10 - 33K
C11 - 33K

And as the pot values are 50K for the Shika - 1, would it make a huge difference if they were 100K and 2, if so, I understand I can solder 50K across pins 1 & 3 to bring them to 50K, but are these the top or bottom in the dual gang pots - I'm planning to use the A side for the Shika (I think the traces look like to the bottom row, but to confirm)
 
Your DoubleMuffin's C10 should be 39k, according to the Shika schematic I have.
Same for DM's C11 — my Shika schematic has 39k listed.


✔ R17 — 3.3nf
✔ R18 — 10nf
‼️ C10 — 39K
‼️ C11 — 39K


1, would it make a huge difference if they were 100K?
1) I don't think so, but I haven't breadboarded the Shika yet.


2, if so, I understand I can solder 50K across pins 1 & 3 to bring them to 50K
Resistor across 1&3 will change the taper. You could pull apart a 50k dualgang and a 100k dualgang, but a resistor across is far easier and how much the taper changes, I don't know if it matters enough to warrant disassembling two dual-gangs to reassemble and risk them being faulty afterwards.


[#3] but are these the top or bottom in the dual gang pots?

For your convenience, I've colour-coded the PCB for any "GOTCHA!"s, which are mostly down the middle:
