I see some builders here like the WIMA caps for use in their fx's.  Exactly which "variety" are you all using.

I've got the Mouser catalog and I see MKP2, MKM2,MKP10,MKP. So which ones are you guys using?

Look at the "dimentions" on the specs, I've made mistakes before and
ended up with 100v caps the size of 9 volt batteries !!
They have to be "small footprint" max 5mm across the "legs/leads" and
no more than 7-12mm high.
One of those listed must be quite small.
MKT and MMK 63 volt are the right size, they're not "wima" though !
Any brand of poly/metal film cap will sound great in a stompbox
