I'm having a little trouble with my values, so could you please help me =]

Ok so I order some parts to build a rat and a coloursound fuzz.

Caps:
221=.022uF
104=.1uF
473=.047uF
224=.22uF
F102kR630PPi, i think this is 102=.001uF
101K=.0001uF=100pF
F223K Q630MPP1=223K=.022uF

Don't know what this is
(circle with a 2)715P600V 332J 0638

I also have this thing that is rally rally small, and is maybe3/4 clear with an orange center and 1/4 black. I can't quite make out the writing =\

If y'all could check my conversions and help me out with the ones I left out I could really appreciate it =]

Also Dragonfly, on you coloursound fuzz, does it matter if the pot is linear or audio?

On the rat does it matter, I hear it needs to be audio, but I can change my linear to a with the secret life of pots tut.

Also I bought a pad-per-hole board, how do I use this, it was a different type then I though

Thanks =D

Ok so I order some parts to build a rat and a coloursound fuzz.

Caps:
221=.022uF -- 221 would be 220pF
104=.1uF
473=.047uF
224=.22uF
F102kR630PPi, i think this is 102=.001uF
101K=.0001uF=100pF
F223K Q630MPP1=223K=.022uF

Don't know what this is
(circle with a 2)715P600V 332J 0638 - I think this would be 3.3nF (0.0033uF) because of the 332J marking, the J would indicate the tolerance

I also have this thing that is rally rally small, and is maybe3/4 clear with an orange center and 1/4 black. I can't quite make out the writing =\  - sounds like a diode, maybe a 1N914 or 1N4148

You need a glade plug-in, in on a footswitch.  Kick on the big muff, then hit the air freshener pedal.

Wow cool thanks, I'm impressed on the diode one, that turns out to be exactly right 0_o!

Oh and with the linear and audio pots. You can use either one, but the one recommended (usually audio for volume and linear for most other applications) will be more efficient and give better control of the circuit. Substituting here does work.

Would that include audio for distortion?

Also does it make a difference with what sort of switch I use (the one you step on) thanks

Diode sounds correct, but if you wanted to be absolutely certain, you could use the dmm on continuity setting. Put the red lead on the clear end, black lead on the black end. It should beep (assuming yours beeps on continuity.) Also, read the numbers on the DMM. If its ~300, you have a germanium diode. If its around 600 or 900 or higher, its silicon

Sometimes. The schematic usually will tell you which. And as far as the switches...well the easiest to use with a LED would be these: http://diystompboxes.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1&zenid=7aff5c1fa33be5f5ed9db7b7d633a018

Supports the forums, relatively inexpensive, and great service! :)

Oh ok, thanks milluz. I have a couple 4PDT, but I think I need to grab a couple of those (but radio shack doesn't have em, so I think I will order them). So with the pots, if it doesn't say what would I be safer using?

For any control except volume, use linear. If it is for volume, use audio. Usually if it is going to use an audio for an uncommon control, it will say that.
