Hi all -
I just ordered some parts for the "Cross Contaminator" build. I have all the components and just waiting on the PCB's in the mail.
I'm familiar with soldering but not so much with reading PCB layouts. I figured most of it out with some searches and the WIKI, but have a few quick questions I was hoping someone might be able to answer. I'm referring to this build guide:

Questions:
- Some of the capacitor connections on the PCB show a +/- (C2, C3, C7, C100, C5), while others don’t (C1, C4, C6, C8, C9). Does this mean the polarity orientation just doesn't matter for those ones?
- 2N1711 transistors - these are NPN and I know which pin on the transistor is the Base/Emitter/Collector - but I’m not sure which pin goes to where on the PCB?
- 1/4” TS jacks - Sleeve goes to ground (on PCB) and tip goes to the footswitch, right?
