Capacitors for Muffin Fuzz Stomp '75

[jojofogarty01]

I'm working on the muffin fuzz Stomp '75 variant and I noticed that the capacitor pcb mounts have 3 holes. Is there a right type of capacitor to use for this specific variant? Also any advice on which taper to use for the pots? They're all 100k but the type is not listed. Thanks for the help!

The capacitors are laid out that way so the board can accommodate film box caps or electrolytic caps in those positions (depending on the variant being built). Just make sure you use the positive pad and either of the other two pads.

I usually use linear taper for all three pots, but some folks like to use log for the volume pot.

Thanks! For the Stomp '75 would you recommend electrolytic or film box type?

Depends on the capacitance. For picofarads (pF) use ceramic, for nanofarads (nF) use film box, for microfarads (uF) use electrolytic.

The caps you have listed can all be film, except C14. C14 is electrolytic. Make sure the one you buy will fit because some 100uF caps are BEEEEG. The 470pF can be film or MLCC.
