ChunkChunk Capacitor question

[Mark_McQ]

Just received my ChunkChunk board and I'm ordering my parts now. One of the caps is listed as '100n', is this nf, or is 'n' used in this context in the same way you use 'r' for a low value resistor?

nano farads if I'm not mistaken.
Anyway, 100n = .1uF/mF
AKA "104" cap code

m is not the same as u.

m for milli is 1 x 10^-3

u for micro (which should actually be the Greek letter Mu - μ) is 1 x 10^-6

Here's a link I find useful for capacitor value conversions..

You're probably correct, but people sometimes use m interchangeably with u. Particularly, if you use smallbears web store you'll need to realize that mf means uf. Be careful not to confuse the noobs with too much math

I thought this pedal sounded weird. Must've been all the 4.7 millifarad caps...
