How crucial is it that this electro cap be 330uF?
Could I substitute a 470uF in it's place??
Thank you,

Substitute away, its just for filtering any possible ripple in the power supply.  470uF would actually do that a little better, even though 330uF is already quite large for how much current the circuit takes.

Fantastic.
I kinda thought it was just filtering but, I'm not advanced enough to know for sure.
This cap operates kinda like a Battery in this instance, right?
Thank you,

Yes... filtering.
Anything from 100uf to 470uF will work fine.

BEN:   Mos Eisley Spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.

LUKE:   But I was going into Toshi Station to pick up some power converters...

VADER:   I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Am I the only one who thinks this is amazing?

The actual pedal maker answering a question on cloning one of his pedals?

One of the reasons this place is so great.

I just cant wait for some EH + Zvex pedals to no longer be made.
