Hi all,
   I'm trying to build this booster pedal from http://guitarwiring.blogspot.jp/2011/02/design-your-own-guitar-booster.html


The problem is that the person who designed this did not include C5's value in his parts list. I've tried contacting the author, but it's an old entry and I'm not sure he's still around since he hasn't responded to email. Here's his list of parts. I've changed the values for the high pass filter and low pass filter to what I want the booster to do.

op-amp
TL071

resistors
R1, R2 = 100k
R3 = 1M
R4 = 16k
R5 = 240k

capacitors
C1, C5 = 10uF (electrolytic)
C2 = 0,1uF (film)
C3 = .22uf (electrolytic)
C4 = 680pF (film)
C5 = ?????
potentiometer
10k

Can anyone help me figure the value out?
Thanks

If at first you don't succeed... use bigger transistors!

Super face palm! And I actually already bought the cap as well!

That's what you get when you try and do hings late at night, then ask silly questions on forums as soon as you wake up.
Thanks for finding that for me :)
