Hi. I'm a first time builder from scratch. I've modded a few pedals and built one from a kit and now I'm going to build a Tubescreamer(the TS-808 version) totally from scratch(- the circuit board.) I am using these (http://www.tonepad.com/getFile.asp?id=81) plans off of tonepad.com and I have a few simple questions. I know which resistors and pots to get, but I'm a little confused on which transistors, I.C.'s and Capacitors to get. I understand the values but don't understand which materials the Capacitors should be made out of in order to have the best sound quality. I'm ordering them off of Small Bear Electronics. Any help/links/info would be helpfull. Thx!

Most of them can be poly, the 51pf will most likely be ceramic. The 47uf and the 10uf will be electolytic
For the 1uf NP I used 1uf non radial electolytic. Hope that helped.

some sites have a list of components with the types of capacitors specified.  see for
