Prepping the pots, jacks, switches and misplaced component


Here are some pix of the tone/volume pots, boost switch and input jack with leads ready to fly to the circuit board or tubes. Notice the scorched fabric...what a newb! I burned the tablecloth and the kitchen table. "What's that I smell?!" The wife was not happy....the main soldering begins this evening.

Misplaced component- this is why you check 3 times and solder once. Notice the yellow .0047uF capacitor pointed out in the photo below. That cap is supposed to be grounded to the tone pot and the .47uF cap goes with the junction of the 25uF cap and 1.5k resistor as a bypass cap. That's the big orange drop you see popping out in 3-D. I didn't have a similar yellow style cap.
