is there any effect to using bipolar electros ? is putting them the "wrong" way in the pedal can cause some kind of effect ?
also, has anyone tried builds with only wimas and "other" capacitors ?
what is a good place to buy caps from (specially wimas)?
when you order the poly film from futurlec about half of them are wimas. The other brand is usually avx I believe. They are cheap and sound good to me! Give em a month though to get there. I order caps and resistors from there. I can get bulk prices without buying bulk ;D Well sort of... I do make sure when I buy the caps I order enough for the quantity price break, but it's not 200 like needed for mouser.
Mouser has 5mm WIMA box caps. Poly film and some polypropelyne.
Also, for 1uF film, I suggest the Panasonic ECQ-V if you are ordering from Mouser. A little cheaper and sound just as good.

im getting ready to order from them and i noticed in the pictures of their box caps its all WIMA's. now i gotta jump on those low prices!! did you have to ask them for the price break or are you referring to the already low price?
Brian - when you say 5mm do you mean lead spacing?
