MXR Microamp questions

[maxsample]

Hi I'm a first time poster and quite a beginner in the world of diy-ing. I'm building a microamp as it claims to be an easy build. I've run into a few problems. I ordered a few parts that don't seem to be the right ones, and I think the best solution for me would be if someone who owns this pedal could open it up and take a few pictures and send them to me. I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi

I'm an absolute beginner as well, but I can tell you that the best thing to do is to break your problem apart in small bits, research them and then ask to the experts around the things you could not figure out... the picture of the pedal won't help that much, since the components may look different and be slight different from your schematic...

anyway, that's my 2c...

Welcome to the forum.

I'm glad you're starting with a GGG PCB. Cool. That makes everything much easier.

Post your questions and you'll get answers.

If you don't understand something..... no worries..... that's why we're all here.

Best wishes for your first build and every one after it!

Hi and welcome. What are the parts that you don't think are right? Maybe we can start there. How far have you built it?

The Microamp is a great little booster, btw.

well I've got all the resistors in place, thats no problem. I ordered a bunch of parts from Mouser including a 47pF cap and a 0.1uF Film Cap, neither of which I can really figure out how they would fit. It's probably that I ordered the wrong part, seeing as you can never "preview" your orders. So I guess my real question should be: Does anyone know where I can buy these parts, and what they are specifically called?
