...stocked up on parts for over 100 pedals (I think the economy has a high chance of crashing and I want my stuff before that happens). But all my MLCC caps were purchased from Tayda and Amazon. I have since read in this forum that Tayda and Amazon do not carry the best materials for MLCC caps...

hi i am pretty new to pedal making and i was wondering why people uses mlcc caps and what benifits do they have and how can i tell when to use them when making a pedal thank you so much for your help from sam

...plus they take up less space and generally cost a little less to produce. I'm wondering if there would be any adverse effects to using 10uF MLCC SMD caps (like this one from Mouser) in place of electro caps. I know my synths do this all the time, so I guess that it works, but I'm curious...

Hey all! Quick (and probably pretty easy) question, but I'm putting together a Leprechaun build and am just four 1uF MLCCs shy of what the build needs. I have a bunch of 1uF bipolar electrolytics lying around though, can I just use those instead? I'm pretty sure it's fine, but wanted to...

...modules from panel/PCBs and have a relatively large stockpile of components. The wisdom I’ve interpreted from the eurorack world is to use MLCCs for bypassing and film for any timing/oscillators/audio path stuff. If you have to use an MLCC for any typically film cap application then get a...

The Arachnid calls for six 1u MLCC caps (I presume because of the tight spacing... but I'd be interested to learn if there are any other reasons why this type are required here). While building I realized that I didn't have any MLCC, but I did have a bunch of 1u tantalums which I thought...

...I have a problem, and also I want to build when I want to/have time to build. I never once thought to myself "I wonder if the electrolyte in MLCCs are different and it matters." Instead, it was more like "it's a ceramic but less badder for audio." Then the great and powerful Bean and his...

Hi All, I have heard that MLCC capacitors have a much longer life than electrolytic, as well as other advantages in terms of low ESR and ability to handle ripple currents. I am interested in substituting some of the electros with MLCC, in the range from 1uf - 10uf where possible. Is there any...

Hey everyone! I was planning to start my first build, the amentum boost, and realized I dont have a 100pf film cap but I do have a 100pf MLCC. The pcb outline for C1 looks like it fits a film cap and I was wondering if putting a ceramic would change anything or matter. Thanks!

I have looked on the internet, but I am not finding a clear answer. For our pedal building purposes, can a MLCC cap substitute for a film cap? Thanks! Andrew

Hi the build guide calls for 2 100nf film capacitors but I'm missing one atm. Could I get away with using a 100nf MLCC capacitor? Since it's not in the audio path.

The build docs for the Powder Blue call for 1u5 MLCC caps. Is there a tone related or specific reason for going MLCC or could it be replaced with box film cap? https://docs.pedalpcb.com/project/PowderBlue-PedalPCB.pdf

Building a Colorsound Powerboost and the build docs have a 470n MLCC in C18. Would a box film capacitor work as well (or at all) in its place? Schematic included for reference

The arachnid has 1uF MLCC caps in the audio path. Any harm using 2.2uF MLCC caps?

...the audio path. Of all the parts I don't have laying around, a bunch of 2.2uf non-polarized caps is high on the list. I *do* have enough 2.2uF MLCCs, however. (I could probably use polarized caps but there's also enough of them that if I misjudge and ruin the build I'll be bummed.) I'm...
