1/8 watt resistors

I accidentally got 1/8 watt 910k resistors for this build and I was wondering if I could just use them instead. I could probably finish this pedal tonight otherwise I have to wait until Monday

You should be fine. Wattage doesn't mean anything in about 99% of the effects out there. Wattage is mostly used to dictate the size of the resistors needed. Madbean has a bunch of 1590a projects that call for 1/8w resistors just to save space. You could build them all with 1/4w.

I def built at least one pedalpcb that used 1/8 watt so I figured it would be fine Im just still coloring by number here so I had to ask. It sounds great BTW! I've been swapping transistors all morning to get diff sounds and I think I've settled on a winning combo. I have 2n5089s for Q1-Q4, a GT404A in Q5 and a 2n3108 Q6.

I sure am loving this Auditorium Test Platform. It makes easy work out of troubleshooting and substituting components with everything still hooked up.
