Okay, so I'm building a clone of the Colorsound One-Knob Fuzz pedal. Here is the Schematic:

But how can I tell what switch to use for it, or what jacks I need, or what kind of pot I should use?
Pot is a 500K Log. http://www.mammothelectronics.com/RV16AF-10-15R1-A-p/200-100-a.htm
As far as the jacks, if you plan on using a battery as well as a ac adapter port you will want to use one mono and one stereo 1/4 jack, stereo for input, mono for output.

I don't see the need for a switch on this schematic.

Man that is great information! thanks, how can you tell from the schematic? Also what does the resistor with 2K2 on it mean? is that supposed to be 22k?
2k2 is 2,2k. The k in the middle is very often used as a comma

He got this one for ya! ...or 2.2K for us on the other side of the pond! :)
As far as the schematic question, a switch looks like one of these most often...

Also, the pot is labeled in there all the way on the right which is the representation of the output jack, notice the 2 connections points shown as opposed to the 3 on the input jack drawn on the opposite side.
