First build

Is there any way to test the piezo before zipping the box up? I soldered the two wires to the two tabs on the 1/4 jack but would like to test her before I glue everything up. Does it matter which wire goes to which tab....... so many questions. My toe hurts!!!!

    ahhh... just tap her with your finger.... if you get a scratchy, thunky noise, it's ok.... if all you have in the circuit is a single piezo, polarity makes no difference...
