So on the GGG FuzzFace PCB layout there is a jumper. Is it just me, or is this just because they couldn't run a straight path and needed to get the signal there somehow so their needs to be a wire conencting the two? There isn't any fancy other reason for this is there?

EDIT:
Let me rephrase...
On some other websites it looks like they couldn't run a striaght wire from A->B becuase they had cross traffic of other wires so they needed to "jump" over a section.

For the GGG site, it looks like they are just using a "one size fits all" circuit board layout, so they needed two sections connected.

Is that right?

Interesting diagram and question.
Only thing I can think to put there would be a small resistor like 100ohm as per YAFF. What that would do to the 22uf cap function [the only other thing I see connected to that 'ground jumper' I don't know...reduce current there I'd guess.
Why Was it drawn this way ?
What would putting a large value cap do there?
EZ enough place to try placing a small R across...can Always Jumper that with smaller to no Resistance.

That is a bit over my head?

So I am missing something? Nothing actually goes there unless I felt like experimenting with something there right?

I think the jumper is there because they use the same board for both PNP and NPN trannys.

I don't see how that would make it any easier to wire for Neg or Pos Ground FF...only the PS and polarized caps need a polarity inversion for that...
I still don't see why that isn't just a 'blue line' like the rest of the traces.
