About 1/3rd of the way through assembly. No disasters so far!

I can't tell you all how much I appreciate your help.

Here's another question:

I've got a few cap values I ordered in that are electrolytic, but the PCB seems to plan on those values being box caps. Does it matter which way I orient those pieces?

Yes, it does, and you don't want to put them in backwards or it will fry the electrolytic cap. I recommend ordering the box caps that you need to do it right. Went through this myself recently.
I build, and once in a while I might sell, pedals as "Vertigo Effects".

I figured that would be the answer :/

Ah well, my enclosure isn't here yet anyway.
