I am building my first effect, so I decide to build electra distortion, because it seem to be aesy, when I was about to finish I realized that the layout did not show me how to wire the pots, the jacks and the switch in a graphic way. and I cant understand how to do it. :oops:

please give me a hand...

But as I remem it is just a volume pot?  
 Im going to tell you like there's no switch, I always debug a ckt before messing with the switching.
 The output of the ckt goes to one lug 1 of the pot [this I believe somes off the transistor collector and through a capacitor?] lug two [middle potlug] is the output, lug three goes to ground...lugs one and three can be inverted, but the volume control will work backwards...turn it CCW...the lug your turning it toward goes to ground for non-inverted control.
  The switching I refer you to GEO article on bypasses.
  Hope this helps
