Hi guys/gals,

I'm trying to locate some vanilla ceramic disc caps and the best place for me to order from is usually Digikey, will any of tthe below be suitable for stompboxes? Is there anything in particular I should look out for? I just need a poke in the right direction...

AVX TPC Radial Leaded Ceramic Disc Capacitors:

(I could use the 0.1uF's listed here)

Panasonic HV Ceramic Disc Capacitors:

(lots of values)

Murata HV Ceramic Capacitors:

(lots of values again)

I appreciate any help/thoughts, thanks :)

The HV caps are High Voltage, right?  If so then they're usually quite large and clunky.  I'd go with the first type you listed.

Aside from physical size they should all be fine though?

As far as I know without actually trying them out, yes.
