I bought a bunch of PCB boards fro GGG, BYOC and other places and i wanted to get an idea of the physical sizes of the caps used in pedals..  As you all know, mouser sells a trillion things in all sizes, I just dont want to order something to big or small.

Thanks

you never have to worry about a part being too small unless you order SMT/SMD. any cap rated higher than 9v is what you want. I sort them by price and hand pick one with 16v or 50v rating. if they are the same price, I get the 16v. the 16v is smaller in size. you can get your electrolytic caps cheaper on tayda with cheap shipping.
