Hi,

I'm trying to finish my Traingle Big Muff and need a 3.9nf cap, but I'm really struglling to find them in the UK. I've got some on order from HongKong but they've yet to arrive.

Any suggestions for UK, I don't really need a thousand a time like alot of the minimum orders!!

Many thanks

Matt

Capacitors in parallel add: a 3.3nF paralleled with a 560pF cap is a 3.86nF cap. The tolerance on most caps is +/-10%, so 3.86 is within the tolerance of a 3.9nF.

In response to the questions in the forum - PCB Layout for Musical Effects is available from The Book Patch. Search "PCB Layout" and it ought to appear.

or wire two 8.2n caps in series for 4.1n being within tolerance.
