Title: wrong caps maybe?
Post by: liam012 on May 16, 2005, 07:19:30 AM
I have just recieved my orders for making 14 different pedals... though i think there is something wrong- alot of the caps are those really small plastic looking orange wima caps - are they o.k?
thanks

If they are the right values/spec, it will be fine. It will do the job.

You shouldn't have any problems, WIMA box caps are very good qualiy !
Just be sure of the values, I used some last week that I was sure were
1nf and they were very tiny 1uf's !!!!
( I should know better )  :wink:

Sometimes the value can be very difficult to read. A meter with capacitance test comes in handy sometimes.
