Title: Extra cap on this tube screamer circuit

It's the Way Huge screamer clone, I was just wondering what the extra electrolytic is in there for? I'm counting three electrolytics and two non-polars. I would assume it's just a simple power filter cap, and it would be the one on the far right?

I only ask because I got to play this pedal in person and would really like to build it now. I started tracing the pcb from hand but soon realized what it actually was, apart from that extra cap. Anyone?

Without knowing where in the circuit it is it's pretty much impossible to tell. Why not finish tracing it? Then you'll know exactly where it is.
