Awesome ! is just pure tube ;) well but the schemetic didnt tell us how much is the Voltage needed for the capacitors ? anyone help? 50V? for all capicitors in the circuit? if yes why is it 50V? is it a standard ? what do i get when increase or decrease the Voltage ratings of the capacitors?

You'll be feeding the circuit 9 or 12 volt, so anything over 16 should be fine. Most film caps comes in 50 or 100 volt ratings, as the rating is maximum voltage across the cap over rating isn't a problem.

generally as a rule of thumb, just double the voltage of whatever the circuit runs at to the next common value for the caps.

if running say 9v, go with 16v caps (at least) if running 18v, go with 35v etc etc.
