Hi, I am new to pedal building and have a couple questions.

When building a circuit and I find I don't have a 120ohm resistor handy will putting a 100ohm and a 20ohm in series in its place achieve that same effect?

Further to this can a 120nF capacitor be substituted with a 100nF and 20nF resistor (in parallel of course!)?

I understand the basic concepts of resistance and capacitance and how they add up in series and parallel but by splitting these up into two physical components am I changing any other characteristics of the circuit or will I encounter anything weird?
