I had to get those caps at Radioshack when I realized I ordered the wrong thing from small bear for those 2 values

About the switches, I was until I wired it up and stepped on it. Those small MXR Knobs are shorter than the switches so the didn't move.

Like I said I haven't really got to put this pedal through the rounds yet

I wouldn't mind giving this a shot either

Well I decided I can post this now that I plugged it in and everything worked. I didn't get to make my rounds with it cause I wasn't using my stuff just loaning for a few minutes to see if it worked. And yes those caps are HUGE!

Also, I'll get a pic later with all the knobs on it. Don't have a tiny screwdriver here on campus
And the sparkle white enclosure looks WAY better in person

Welp, got everything solder up and in the enclosure. I just can't test it out to see if it works until friday. The LED's work so that's gotta be a good sign! haha

If I want to use just two mono jacks instead of a stereo jack I can right? I don't care about the battery

Ya exactly, I don't want to wait a week.

And actually, everything in that pic came from smallbear

This should be the right thing right? It says they have them in stock at my local radioshack

Hmmm, I guess I ordered 4 polarized caps. Will Radioshack carry some regular film caps?

Ok I as I was looking I noticed another question.

Why is it that in the build docs C8 and C19 have a positve/negative and are circular while C9 and C20 are Square and have no positive negative. The build docs show these to be the same value etc. Can you help me out with this?

Thanks for all the help guys!

^^Thanks man! Couple more questions

1) Why don't my capacitor look like "boxes" like the builds I've seen? Can I still use them?

2) On my cylindrical caps, why are the positive and negative ends on different sides unlike the others that have the both on the same side? Can I still use these?

Thanks! Did I completely screw up when ordering or is this ok?

Just picked up my order from smallbean! Only problem is they didn't label any of my resistors, caps, etc. How do I tell them apart?

Quick question. I decided I'm gonna try of the cap switch per madbeans advice. I ran down to radioshack to see if they had any and I picked up 2 of what I believe is the correct cap just making sure.

The build says 27n-47n and I picked up a .047uf polyester-film cap.

This is the correct cap right?

Also, will this be too much bass response being the highest value suggested. Thanks, Clint

Great build can't wait to start on mine! What did you use to attach the PCB to the Pots? Double sided tape?

Everything is here except the biggest order. Ugh. Smallbear was the first place I ordered from and the last thing to come in. I still haven't got it yet.

How do you socket a Cap?
