Yes, you will.
At the voltages/currents we use in pedals (such as a Muff), there's no difference in sound, but there is in *noise*. Metal is a lot quieter and better quality to boot. Always go for metal film, unless you have a very, very well-informed, double checked, NON-Mojo reason to use carbon comp (or it's all you have laying around ;P )
