Okay I'm about half way through poulating my board.
I'm doing this one http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/v2/diagrams/ts_lo_808.gif

Take a look at the C5 capacitor. It shows it is non polar.  But when I looked at the cap I have It has the info on one arm and a ++-- on the other.  This is the one I ordered.

It is suppossed to be a solid tantalum cap.

My question is can I use this one?  Do I have to be concerned with the direction?  If so which way do I hook this badboy up?

Yes.

+ marked lead inboard towards the IC, - marked lead toward the edge of the board.

In response to the questions in the forum - PCB Layout for Musical Effects is available from The Book Patch. Search "PCB Layout" and it ought to appear.

Thank you R.G. for the quick reply.  If you would help me one more time the same value cap is used for the C9 spot I think it should go + toward the output and - side toward the R11 resistor.  Again thanks so much for your help.
