Electronic – Is this resistor routed correctly

circuit analysisemittertransistors

For a friend I'm trying to make a fuzz pedal and found this very flexible fuzz circuit, called "The Fuzz of 1000 Faces," at instructables, credits to Randofo.

However, since it's an old post, I ask the question here (since it's more generic.)

Can someone explain why the 100 K resistor (in the red circle) is used for all transistors under it? Because how I read it, is that it is connected to the collector of the first (2N2222,) and than the emitter is connected to all other emitters. But it seems to me, the first is different (why is it not connected to the emitter of the first for example?).

The original circuit can be found here: http://www.home-wrecker.com/multiface.html (thanks jsotola).

It seems to me, if the 2N2222 is not selected (switch is off,) there will be no current flowing out of the emitter of 2N2222 so all subsequent transistors will not function either.

UPDATE

Because for double checking the complementarory?) comment and answer, I added the following possibilities (changes in Red).

1A Resistor to all emitters

1B Resistor to each switch (collectors)

Yes, it looks like the circled 100K resistor & the 10K resistor should be on the moving contact of their respective switches.

Edit: Like so:
