Title: Film vs. Ceramic cap
Post by: timmcg1011 on April 21, 2015, 12:00:25 AM
Hi,
Parts list of a project I'm working on calls for a 470pf film capacitor. The supplier I ordered from sent me a ceramic cap. Wondering what effect if any this will have on the outcome of the pedal?

Thanks very much

Most 470pF caps are ceramic caps.  You can find film caps in that value, but they aren't as common.

I prefer MLCC caps over Ceramic Disc caps, but both work.
