Isosceles Boost Capacitor question

Hi!

I was about to start building this pedal and I noticed something funny concerning C12. It's indicated as a 1uF cap on the PCB, usually uF caps are electrolytic per your builds. The schematic shows a regular cap instead, as does the PCB. Can I still install an electrolytic cap, as this is what I have on hand, as long as the negative lead is oriented towards pin2 of SW1? It looks good to me, I just need a little confirmation.

Thanks!
 
I don't know how well a polarized cap would work there. If it was the difference of finishing a trial build now or waiting for something to come in, go ahead and try it.

You could certainly sub a NP 1uf electro cap there, although I think a box cap would be preferred.
