Hey so i got all my parts, etched pcb, matched Ge Trannies and it just occured to me this might be cool...It will be laid out sideways with 9 mm pots basically exactly like the production pedal. The 10uf electros i got from mammoth (i cannot stand them,  i normally would not flame anyone on here but They screwed up 2 orders and Alan was all nice then wanted pictures when i asked about replacement 50 cent pots that had lugs smashed in, they send me 1/2 watt 3.9m resistor, which was for a 1590a build, some crushed 5089s, ne way....) Radioshack is going out of business and there shit is 90% off, so got like 30 bucks of stuff, not really but 30 bucks at their prices for like 3 bucks...so i just grabbed as much stuff as a could ,,,ne way the 10uf tants are teeny tiny. Also have a 100nf taint from tayda. id like to keep low profile as possible. Any reason not to use the taints?

Any reason not to use the taints?

Is that your take on the Way Huge naming convention? I'd recommend against using taints(sic) in your pedals  , but no reason not to use tantalums.

Just make sure to de-rate their voltage spec appropriately - that is, their working voltage should be no more than 50% of their voltage rating. For long term reliability, most manufacturers recommend 30% derating.

lol want aware that Way Huge used taints,, im sure thats not the correct abbreviation but i like it. Sure the Taint Factory would be a big hit...get some good artist and some handpainted taints...i dont see how i wouldnt sell a million of them lol...No i just had made an order from mammoth and their 10ufs were like fuking massive,and was driving by radioshack and saw 90 percent off everything in store, plus buy 2 get 2 free so i stopped in, knew the parts draw would have lotta stuff, plus it felt like payback for paying 2 dollars for 2 greenie mylar caps, saw the tantulums , which r 1.94 each normally and so got 4 for 36 cents...was funny looking at reciept. what would have normally cost me almost 50 bucks there was not even 4 bucks....going up there today to get swithes, theres are pretty decent, i have some dpdts i ve had for 3 years and soldered and resoldered at least 10 times and they still work great, no hum or pops or static. Cant find a gut shot of the fat fuzz factory but they have some micro mini dpdts that i think i can squeeze in there. Im gonna get some of every kind spsts spdts, normal size , micro mini, on off on, prob can get at least ten for 2 bucks. anyway im rambling....

Can't help with the fuzz factory, but I have to agree that there's never been a better time to buy components at radio shack. I cleaned it the parts drawers at two stores last week
