Making sure I understand the FatPants

[soonerrob]

Hey all,

Building a FatPants and seeing some things for the first time and want to make sure I understand.

I see a +9v hookup, and also see the 18v markings... the pedal is powered by 9v correct? and the 18v comes from the 1044?

and therefore i need to make sure that all my caps are 25v or higher capacity correct?

any help is appreciated..

Just noticed that i only have 16v caps for C7 and C4.. will this be a problem in these locations?

I would wait and replace them with higher voltage rated caps. General rule of thumb that I know of is to use double the voltage rating just in case. Most people around here, and noted on Beans build Doc's, use 25v or above.

I would save those two caps for a pedal that just runs nine volts. C7 the electrolytic will STINK! if you blow it and cause a mess. Not fun.

If all you need is those 2 caps, Post in the parts jar section of the forum with your location.

Happy Building!
