Question about WH Red Llam.. er, Crimson Camel ;)

[nbabmf]

On the Dragonfly layout, there's a big ol' 330uF cap.  Would 200 or 470 be okay, or is that going to be sacrilege/bad/?  I couldn't find any of the 330's on Small Bear, but there are 220's and 470's.

Also, I also couldn't find 51pF so I just grabbed 2 100's to wire in parallel.  I can't think of any way to improvise in this way for the 330uF without taking up a buttload of space.

The 330uF provides filtering for the power supply, so it's probably better to go higher if you don't have the exact value, therefore 470uF.

built the red llama using the above layout. Had the same problem as you so I posted on here and got the same advice of using the 470uF.


Put the sucker in and guess what......................yep worked perfectly!

Good pedal too

Thanks Guys

PS, wiring caps in parallel adds them up. you have to wire them in series.
